Hi, Mark,

This isn’t an attempt to convince you to spend your money. How much any piece of software is worth is entirely up to the individual user and I respect that. However, I wanted to provide this timely input that was posted today at the ConnectedText forum (and NOT by me):

BEGIN QUOTE:
So many features have been added from 5.0.0.1 through 5.0.0.8 that turned out even better than I had anticipated.

Built-in images can now be provided by the user, not 9 or 99 as I hoped for, but 999, which should suffice the most daring customizing nut (I sure belong to this category)

Goto has received a Global checkbox. Category filters have Union/Intersection options, the whole search process has become much more convenient and user friendly. The NoLetter and Columns options make an Index more compact and better readable ..... and these are just a few of the things that really make a big difference to me and my workflow.

What I really appreciate on top of all this—that Eduardo is not holding back these features for a major upgrade number (like so many other software vendors) but doesn’t hesitate to hand it out to us, free of charge, the minute anything has been implemented.
This is not something to be taken for granted. It deserves mentioning and my topic title is meant to refer to this: Big Thanks.
:END QUOTE

Again, I’m not trying to convince you to spend your money, but when considering value, all factors should be on the table. Among these is how much the product is continually improved, and when upgrade purchases are required. Here’s the link to the posting:
