I was going to mention that most rich text editors these days such as Word have these abilities now and actually work very well. Unfortunately, these tools were not available back then!

We used Instant Update on the Newton team to author and comment on our design documents. I haven’t seen IU’s equal since, and my current team could sure use it.

Nice work, thanks guys.

Is there any way to still get (purchase)copies of Instant update or common knowledge to setup the server and client setup. I once talked to On Technology and no one seemed to know about it?
thanks for any help, i loved IU

Thanks Oliver. It’s good to hear that Instant Update had a following somewhere.

Oliver,

Thanks for remembering. Kleiner Perkins was one of our investors and liked it too, I made a special version once with page breaking just for John Doerr. Stewart Alsop praised it once. It seems like almost nobody else ever used it.

Too bad. It was very elegant.
