- Just when we loyal users thought that NBI might be
- at least slightly out of the woods (NB4 actually
- delivered and all), I received the following
- message about the competition. From my perspective,
- as a non-Lingua user, this looks like a very
- deadly blow. I've tried to make inroads for
- NB vis a vis the WordPerfect monopoly on campus.
- No one is interested in the differences in
- interface, they see NB as different (and hence
- necessarily worse) than the program they are
- familiar with. The only thing that has
- attracted attention at all is the NB "add ons"
- Ibid and Orbis/Textbase because they provided an
- obvious benefit that wasn't available in WP.
- Unless the program outlined below involves some
- sort of corporate arrangement between WP and NBI
- (many moons ago I seem to remember a copy of Wings
- which suggested that DF was going to develop a version
- of Ibid for use with WP), they can kiss that
- market goodbye.
