To find out more information on Nisus, Call Paragon Concepts, Inc., ask
to speak to Mark Hurvitz in tech support. He should be able to get you a
demo copy of Nisus to try out as well. FYI-The Hebrew version of Nisus
has only been out for 6 weeks. It retails in the US for $495, (Or $250
if you are upgrading from Nisus a previous verison of Nisus 3.)

-Some hilites specific to the Hebrew version of Nisus:
-Right to left, left to right paragraphs; easily flip orientation.
-Script sensitive GREP, I believe the only GREP of its kind anywhere.
-Choice of english or Hebrew menus, at bootup.
-Claris XTND file filter technology.
-Compatiblilty with the Japanese Kanjitalk system and input methods.

-And of course all of the features of the US version of Nisus, including
multiple undos, multiple clipboards, headers/footers/footnotes, and
integrated graphics...

Telephone Paragon at 1-800-922-2993.

Cheers,

-jOn
