BookWorm ReviewI'd have to concur with the others on this - Version: 5.5.8, 8/3/2004 08:07AM PST

The other reviewers have it right on this: it is slow and buggy. I even had a difficult time quitting the program as I got an error message.

I'm always looking for a small editor for writing and this one seems to mimic others such as Ulysses that focus more on the writing and less on the word processing.

BookWorm's programing gets in the way of that creative process and I also hope that the author will release a cleaner version of this software.

...but here on VersionTracker the author neglects to state what is fixed or improved? I should think that VT would require something along these lines to post an update, or at least charge the developer for advertising space. VT, you require more of us users writing these reviews and ratings!

Don't anyone waste money on this clunky eyesore. Any writer who thinks thinks this kluge is any good must be a tyro or a friend of the developer. As I said previously, you'll get better results from Z-Write, DEVONthink, or OmniOutliner!

Big fat one star across the board. Two stars for VersionTracker for letting this thing use up server resources.
