It seems to me that Niles is not too keen in the Windows market.  

The Windows version of EndNode + was promised sometime in Fall 93 which 
was to be compatible with Word for Windows 2.0.  Microsoft has come out 
with Word 6.0 for Windows and Niles is yet to come out with a Windows 
version of EndNode+ compatible with ANY Word for Windows.  

Niles has mentioned that Microsoft has changed the Word file format in 
version 6.0.  Fine, I have had my version of Word 6.0 for over two 
months and I waited for a while before I bought my copy of the software.  
I believe that two months is a reasonable time to come up with some 
solution to the problem of reading Word 6.0 files.

Microsoft was working on a Word version (after releasing 2.0c) was no
secret.  It just shows that Niles was poorly prepared for the release
of Word 6.0. 

My documents have quite a few of Word-Draw pictures and equations and 
I am NOT interested in the additional work of pasting back pictures
and equations after EndNote+ formats the RTF file for references.  I
believe that I am not alone in this situation.

If the true Windows version of EndNote is still sometime away, I cannot
understand why Niles cannot provide a patch to read Word for Windows 6.0
files (as a temporary measure).  Does Niles care about its product users?
