It's great that Softwood still supports the amiga. I hope they can last and not fold up before the power amiga is released. However, I'm sure there is demand for footnotes in Final Writer. I would suspect that the vast majority of Amiga users are now uni students who first got a 500 in the late 80's as High School students. Any academic writing requires footnoting. (endnoting is sometimes a poor substitute but virtually anyessays or journal submissions need footnoting). I can't believe that we have gone over 10 years with only two amiga programmes supporting footnotes. (excellence and WordPerfect which have now both gone the way of the bullet). I've heard a rumour that it would be to hard to implement into Final Writer but that is nonsense. I'm sure you could hack the footer system to have a variable height off the bottom of the page for each individual page. Hack the endnote system to reset for each page. (All you would need is a couple of linked lists for each page) and voila Footnoting system! Please consider! Brent bclark@hardy.ocs.mq.edu.au
