NOTE-- We
retired MacNail Spec Writer and the rest of the MacNail
construction software, back in 2000. It has been replaced
with Goldenseal, a complete
software package for Macintosh and Windows that handles contract
writing, plus accounting, construction
estimating, and project
management, It turned out that MacNail Spec Writer was too complicated
for most users, so we simplified it greatly when moving
its features to Goldenseal.
