I think i am at the root of this whole discussion asking for a SN for 
Nisus Writer. And it has been very interesting and also a bit disturbing
to see how the whole discussion evolved. 

In the past i payed for some wonderfull tools that i use almost 
daily:

Fetch, Textsoap, Norton Utilities and Antivirus, BBEdit and 
then some... Not all of them cheap i might add.

Now i also use some 'old'  versions of regular commercial 
software like  Photoshop 4.0.1, FileMaker 4.1v3, that i 
haven't payed for.... It's old stuff that a friend of mine burned on 
a CD for me, but  it's powerfull software and very usefull to me.

Some wonderfull free software that my attention has been directed 
to by some people in our List, in the last few days in reaction to 
my question are RagTime Solo and WordPerfect THANX again!

Ennieweej, i don't think i am a thief i just don't have it in 
me.  I just needed a powerfull WordProcessor with a bit more than 
AppleWorks could offer so i thought. Now this has become WordPerfect 
and it does the job very well.

As i said before, i used Nisus Writer free for 60 days and 
started to like it a lot.  As soon as i can afford a new computer 
which runs OSX  i will buy the latest and greatest version of 
NisusWriter, to go with it.

Okay i just wanted to defend myself because i don't like to be 
called a thief.

Now, i think this whole thing has been dragged through the mud 
long enough, could we let it rest or continue without calling each 
other names?

Cheers,

Eric
