Polya suggested that one should test a theory by applying it to an (extreme) example. So:
Was/is GrandView aesthetically pleasing?
Gee, when I did my Ph.D. dissertation (mathematics) there was no software to use. I did 99% of my research while lying in bed until 4am each night. I also typed most of the draft in bed using an Oli...

A couple of notes on GV:
1. When I was learning it, the printed manual/reference (600+ pages) was a necessity.
2. If I recall correctly, the price was something like $295.
3. The underlying file...

TameDOS is apparently still being sold, but both its info and support email address are apparently defunct.

Jack,
If you intend to print with GV, better check that it will work with your printer. GV did have a program to modify printer drivers. I may have it. I know that I did modify a printer driver ne...

Per Derek's "top bar," right click Menu/Properties/Font setting, I use 6x12 raster for a 12" screen. Also on Layout tab, I use 80x50 for buffer & window size. I had to play around A LOT to get a scr...

Derek has apparently had better success running GV under Win XP than have I. Many of the things I could do in Win 2000, won't work for me in XP, but most seem to work for him.

Both NoteFrog and CintaNotes appear to be text only. Personally, even though I am retired, I prefer to be able to at a minimum paste graphics and tables.

Could it be that ADM was sold to some (Chinese?) company, which for its own reasons, has chosen to withdraw it from at least the english-speaking market? Or, perhaps, like Microsoft, might ADM have u...

2 cents: My son has just written a 300(?) page nonfiction book to be published in September and the publisher has already asked him to write one or two more. He tells me for fiction or nonfiction he...

HOWEVER, there is NO doubt that I lost about a pa...
