Re: Nota Bene

But let's not forget that XyDos has the same capabilities as Nota Bene as
far as "text searches" and "index making" are concerned. Though there were
problems with earlier versions, later releases of Ibid and Orbis for XyDos
are quite powerful. And Ibid works well with BookWhere 2000.

with XyDos 4.018. But the enthusiasm here for Note Bene has me curious. And
I wonder why the long-time XyWriters who have switched, or have added Note
Bene as a second WP, have done so. I've followed some of the discussion of
some of the quirks and glitches, some of the purchasing and delivery
problems. But beyond these, in general what makes the program a good
alternative, or, substitute? Thanks.
