Dear
XyWrite friends, We
are pleased to announce that have just released Nota Bene version 9. We hope
that those of you who have not yet purchased Nota Bene will do so, and that
those of you who are using older versions of Nota Bene will upgrade. Until
July 31, we are offering Nota Bene to XyWrite users at our student prices. We
know that many of you don’t use all of the academically-oriented
functionality of Nota Bene, so we are making the program available to you for
$249, a savings of $150 compared to the regular price of $399. To take
advantage of this offer, go to www.notabene.com, click the Cart button and
enter “XyWrite” as a group name at the top of the form. If you
already have Nota Bene and would like to upgrade to version 9, click the Login
link at the top of the same form. For
the past decade or more, we’ve been debugging the XyWrite code. The
current version of NB is very stable, and it still uses all the XyWrite
commands, has the convenience of fast keyboard control, and can run your XPL
programs. NB also includes powerful RTF filters. Your XyWrite files (DOS or
Windows) can be opened in Nota Bene, edited in Nota Bene, and then converted to
RTF so that you can send them to someone who uses Word. And, in response to
questions on this list, an en dash can be entered easily in Nota Bene and it
converts flawlessly to Word via Save As RTF or by copying and pasting. For
those who are thinking of upgrading to v9, the new version adds real-time,
visually identified, spell checking with misspellings marked with red squiggle
underlining, or with an optional yellow background. We’ve also introduced
a new “regularize document” feature that can be very useful in
stripping unwanted codes from documents, particularly documents that have been
imported from other programs. For information about new features and
improvements, see www.notabene.com/upgrade_90.html Perhaps
most importantly, we are now working on converting to 32-bit so that NB can be
used on 64-bit operating systems. While version 9 is not yet fully 32-bit, the
revenues from v9 upgrades (and new purchases) are playing a significant role in
financing this conversion. We are fortunate to have two XyWrite programmers
available to work on this--Dave Erickson and Sam Cheung (see the 2nd of "3
More Reasons" at www.notabene.com/upgrade_90.html for details). Please
help us reach the goal of a fully 32-bit program by purchasing v9 now. With
your continued support, we plan to keep this code working now and well into the
future. Best
to all, Anne Anne Putnam Nota Bene www.notabene.com aputnam@xxxxxxxx 800-462-6733 718-382-1500 |
