Nisus 4.1.6 is free for the Mac; you pay for the later editions. There
is also the Nisus Compact, a stripped down version of the paid software
of the latest version. The Nisus Compact can save files in text form,
so that it can be read by virtually any word processor. I am testing it
on an older PowerMac notebook.
