Hello, all --

I just wanted to announce that Nota Bene has finally released the full version of their Lingua Workstation 5.1 for Windows, which allows one to use Greek, Hebrew, IPA, and English together in one text (including right-to-left typing and word wrapping of Hebrew).  I have been using NB since its inception and highly recommend it.  Their web site is www.notabene.com.  (I don't work for NB, by the way.)

Here is more information:

Word Processing (Nota Bene):

NOTA BENE is a high-end word processor.  All text retrieval, 
organizational and bibliographic tools that are a part of the package 
feed directly into it.  Nota Bene accommodates up to three different 
sets of footnotes or endnotes, bidirectional cross referencing that 
updates in real time, unparalleled search and replace functionality, 
multi-file manuscript editing and printing, and conversion utilities 
for sharing work with people who use other word processing formats.


Bibliographic Management (Ibidem):

A superior bibliographic manager, Ibidem keeps track of and organizes 
all your bibliographic material throughout your entire career. 
Formatting of footnotes, endnotes, short form in-text citations, 
reference lists and bibliographies are handled dynamically, as you 
write.  Hundreds of predefined professional and academic styles for 
automatically formatting papers.


Customizable Database System (IBID. PLUS):

Ibid. Plus is a customizable version of Ibidem.  Sample databases are 
included for address books and fieldnotes, and it's easy to create 
custom databases for a wide variety of personal, business, and 
academic requirements.  Features and speed are what you might expect 
from an expensive standalone DBMS.


Text Retrieval and Freeform Database (Orbis):

Everything you (or your colleagues) have ever written is instantly 
accessible!  Tell Orbis what files to include in your textbase, and 
it keeps track of every word.  Use Orbis to search thousands of files 
for ideas from lectures, lab reports, interviews, fieldnotes, files 
downloaded from the Internet, and random jottings.


Multilingual Tools (Lingua):

Lingua adds multilingual functionality in Hebrew, Greek, Cyrillic, 
IPA, and other specialized character sets. Enter Hebrew from right to 
left, switch languages with keystroke ease, type with a foreign 
keyboard layout, stack multiple diacritics above or below any 
character in any combination.   Lingua provides greater 
sophistication in these languages than you will find in any other 
word processor, even if enabled with Unicode.

All the best --

Gordon Ross
