Since End Note Does NOT Read Word 4.0 files, I'm going to hold off getting Word 4.0. Does anybody out there know if End Note is going to post a patch, or sell an upgrade, or something? I really like End Note, but I think I will be moving to 4.0 sometime soon. Anxiously, John M.A. Roy (714) 856-5039 ICS Dept., Univ. Calif., Irvine CA 92714 Internet: roy@ics.uci.edu

Also with any other word processing program which develops a healthy market share, or serves the same vertical niche that EndNote addresses. Have you tried calling or writing the company to get reassured? They're pretty nice folks... I have no connection with Niles & Associates other than liking their product and knowing a couple of people there [who do not give me financial or emotional kickbacks from recommending their products :-)].

An upgrade (free for current owners) will be avaialble very soon. According to the person I talked to at Niles & Assoc. they are mailing out cards to all registered owners next week. Those with 4.0 just mail it back nad get the upgrade. =============================================================================== |Curt Stevens (303)492-1218 | / |arpa: stevens@boulder.colorado.edu| |University of Colorado at Boulder | o o |uucp:{ncar|nbires}!boulder!stevens| |Computer Science Department | | |----------------------------------| |Campus Box 430 | \_/ |Its a dog eat dog world & Im wear-| |Boulder, Colorado 80309 | |ing milkbone underwear.Norm@Cheers| =============================================================================== ======== | Curt | ========

I'm impressed that it was entirely free. It is supposed to read Word 4.0. Unfortunately, I'm still waiting 2-4 weeks for Microsoft to send 4.0, so I can't test it. One problem I always have with the DA doesn't seem to be fixed, unfortunately: It doesn't return all the memory it uses. Although the release notes claim that this was fixed, about 20K still vanishes. David Rudolph rudolph@m.cs.uiuc.edu University of Illinois

Niles & Assoc. is definately shipping unsolicited upgrads to version 1.2 which reads word 4.0 files. I received mine yesterday, just before I was going to call and find out what the story was. That's two unsolicited upgrades since I purchased the program.

In fact, End Note has already upgraded to a version that DOES indeed read Word 4.0 files. I received mine in the mail two days ago -- only three weeks after receiving my Word upgrade! More amazing -- the EndNote upgrade is FREE. Even more astounding -- this is the SECOND free upgrade that Niles & Associates has sent out to purchasers of the original EndNote. Final flabergasting fact -- BOTH free upgrades included functional improvements, and were not (unlike the infamous Word 3.0x free upgrades) merely bug fixes. And the program itself is superb. Could one ask for better service? Thank you, Niles!
