What >say ye? I confess that I haven't tried it, because I didn't feel like paying the shareware fee (I own the full version of MacLink). But I don't see how this helps much. The problem is to get the files into Nisus, with formatting. Wouldn't it be better to bundle the key MacLink translators? Also, given the number of complaints about how it works, it sounds like a bad idea. If a reviewer tries it, and it doesn't work, that will colour his experiences. It doesn't *matter* that the product isn't produced by Nisus Software. What matters, to the reviewer, is that it doesn't work. :-) -- Bob Waltz waltzmn@skypoint.com "The one thing we learn from history -- is that no one ever learns from history."
