I have just looked at the Nisus Forum.

    <http://www.nisus.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=4048>

And, a version of Nisus for the Apple App Store is being worked upon.

I rarely argue with Erik but not using the App Store for initial sales and new users would be foolish from a corporate point of view.

In fact, Nisus would be irresponsible not to adopt this approach for getting a product into a selling area which will be read by many, many current non-users of NWP.

This will cause that you will not be able to use the program on any other computer or system that it is downloaded to. We can already see this now that Textwrangler has been released in a AppStore version. This version is only usable on OS X 10.6 and therefore also only on Intel Machines. - And why on earth should Apple be the decider to what _they_ think will be good or not for use on an Apple computer? - OK, they of course at the same time guarantee that the app will be working. But many of us are still using non-Intel Macs - and why on earth aren't we also allowed to use these cheaper apps?

This will sure give quite a lot better usability making text documents - especially on the iPad instead of that pice of crap that now is available on that one. - And of course such a 'NisusMini' version MUST have all the main features and also include the possibility of being able to use full scripting - else it would be worthless...
