I'm starting to get frustrated over the seeming lack of commitment
that Niles & Associates is showing to the Windows market.  I bought
the DOS version of EndNote+ with the understanding that there would
be a Windows version out in 6 months.  This was around 8 or 9 months
ago.  Like the carrot on the stick, it seems like the new version is
always 6 months away.  Now with Chicago (Windows 95 or Windows 4.0)
on the horizon, will EN+ be further delayed?  By the that time, Cairo
(NT 96 or NT 4.0 or whatever) could be on the horizon and in alpha or
beta testing.  It's a vicious cycle, the longer it is delayed the 
more features they need to add and the more that Windows & 
applications change that EN+ need to interact with.

Two other people followed my lead and bought copies of EN+ too.
I haven't looked around at the bibliography program selection for
a while but perhaps it is time to start investigating it again.

I don't want to be too negative.  Niles & Associates seems to have
gone the extra mile in the Mac market and we all appreciate the
helpfulness of Kimberly and in the past, Avi.  It is just 
disappointing to not even hear rumors of a beta test on the Windows
side.
