Well, I felt that the smaller developpers may need a break, and with over one hundred programs on each CD, that some good stuff just went unnoticed. Ergo, I will try to make your life a bit easier, and support the independant programmers in the process.
Every month, I will select a few examples of outstanding work. Programs I believe to embody the best of what is currently available for your Mac. So, if you do not feel like trying EVERYTHING included here, at least you will have a starting point.
If you have only the time to try a few programs, these are the ones I suggest you select.
ABOUT TEX-EDIT+
Forget SimpleText - TE+ is by far the best replacement around. Other very good text editing programs are available, but I have yet to see one with all the features, and the expandability offered here.

A depository containing hundreds of scripts is available from the TE+ web site.
Almost all my word processing is made with this application: Why use a bloated, RAM hungry piece of software whan this elegant solution exist? It may not provide all the page layout features of its commercial cousins, but if you want to WRITE...
Both “The List” and this note were created in Tex-Edit. The application “TE ENGINE” is a minimal version of TE included on the CD to read these files if the full application isn’t installed.
