Is MindWrite now a dead product or is it still supported? I have version 2.1, sold by Access Technology, Inc. If I'm not mistaken, this was the third company to own the product. I still think it is the best outliner ever made for the Mac. Cheers, Eric. __________________________________________________________________ | Eric Kofoid; Dept.

A company called DeltaPoint now has the rights to both this and Trapeze. If I remember correctly, DeltaPoint may have been formed by ex-employees of Access Technology when Access died/dumped the software/whatever. I believe that both Trapeze and MindWrite are still being sold. I know that DeltaPoint recently released DeltaGraph, so they presumably still have a programming staff. -- R David Francis francis@cis.ohio-state.edu

The DeltaGraph program has been incredibly sucessful and their focus seems to be 100% on DeltaGraph right now. I use MindWrite and also believe that it is the best outliner ever produced. Acta is quick for short memos or notes, however; it pales in terms of power and functionality next to MindWrite. Even MORE is not as powerful or as easy to use for pure outlining (and much MORE expensive) . To those of you that think and write in outline format a great deal, MindWrite is a really intuitive tool. Now we need to flood DeltaPoint with accolades for MindWrite, get them to re-position it as an "Insanely Great" Outliner that also does medium level wordprocessing instead of as a wordprocessor that also outlines, and have them committ to doing another release beyond 2.1 ...
