Hello Steve, Any plans to put information concerning Nautilus here? I have heard that there is a Trial disk available. I would like to see some additional information and pricing, if thats appropriate here. Thanks, Bill

I picked up a copy of the Nautilus PC trial disk through a bundle of business reply card that camer in the mail. It is also availalbe from PC COnnection for about $20. The demo was impressive enough for me to subscribe at $120 per year. I haven't recieved any issues yet but will express my opinions when I do.

Bill, Yup. I'll certainly be putting info about NAUTILUS in Lib 11 – NAUTILUS as soon as I decide what I want there <g>. I'll work on getting the subscription and pricing info up this weekend. I'm hoping to include sneak previews of what's on the discs each issue before they ship. – Lupes

Steve, Is Nautilus PC a DOS or Windows based application? -Rell

Rell, Our front end or, as we call it, "shell", is written in Toolbook so, if you want to use the full functionality of NAUTILUS you could say that it's a Windows product. The articles are currently in straight ASCII text so that you can read them with your favorite word processor, editor or viewer. We display them using Notepad from the shell. We are, BTW, looking at the possiblities of using Windows Write or something else to view the text files so that we can use fonts, bold, italics etc. This would kill the ability to view the files in DOS, though. You can always address the CD ROM drive as a DOS drive and look at the well organized <g> files, articles etc. that way. – Lupes

How about using Rich Text Format (RTF), It looks a biot strange, but is all ascii text, and easy to interpret. Plus both Word for WIndows, and Worpderfect for Windows can import RTF files directly -Rell
