Software recommendations for writers

Thanks 40hz, I didn't know all that.
But it's meant to be proof you wrote it on a particular date.
And not a legal copyright.

I understand. :) The only reason I mentioned it was because it came up at a recent discussion in my writing group. One of the guests was a person directly involved in IP issues and licensing. She characterized PMC as "one of the most dangerous misconceptions out there." She basically said it established nothing - including proof something was written by, or on, a certain date. The second link in my previous post shows just how easy it is to fake a PMC.
It was a pretty eye-opening conversation. With thanks to Gillian :-* (our 'IP expert' guest) for the info and most of the above weblinks. :) :Thmbsup:

ZenWriter is on BDJ Today (Sunday, 05/15/2011). I haven't used it- but of course, I bought it. It was only $4.95, and from the screenshots, it looked interesting. :-[

Liquid Story Binder XE looks really complex but I'm intrigued is there ample documentation included with the program to help figure it out because without that I can see myself getting lost quickly.
Chapter to Chapter would be very useful but I'm really opposed to using Word. ;) Might test it out and maybe it will grow on me.
I was told about a program called SuperNotecard. has anyone tried it? care to share your opinion on it ?
cmpm:
You don't have to use Word with Chapter by Chapter.
Any editor would work.

Manual here and Online Tutorials here. Lots of help available in the forum. IIRC, the developer's general advice is for people to start off using just a few types of screen/file type and then add others as they feel the need; I don't think most people use anything like all the options and which ones are useful depends on what you are writing. You can make it very simple if you want.
