Mellel

A powerful, reliable word processor, and a long time favorite with writers and scholars, for long document writing.

Normally: $39.00

ZOT Price: $19.00

Do not let Mellel’s speedy launch, nimble performance, or humble footprint mislead you – there are no bells and whistles, but there is power. In fact, we’ll openly claim: Mellel is the most powerful word processor for the Mac OS.

Your documents should look the way you want them to look

Looks matter, and Mellel has no competitors when it comes to controlling the way your document looks and creating consistent, predictable, and beautiful looking results.Consistency and predictability are the most important things when dealing with text and images.

In Mellel, flexibility when setting columns or text does not come at the expense of of getting the results you want to get: Images with text flowing around them stay where you set them to stay, columns stay balanced, and headings don’t go strolling down the page just for fun. Looks matter, consistency matters even more.

And stay in control. Get your documents in order, and keep them ordered

As your document gets longer, it gets harder to keep all things in it in order. Mellel’s superb Outline feature is just the tool to achieve that. The outline pane gives you a bird’s eye view of your entire document, and lets you, tells you where you are, and lets you move things around easily.

To streamline your document’s content, you can view elements such as captions for figures, tables, charts, and so on separately – and review them one by one.

Another excellent streamlining tool is Mellel’s find: It allows you to create GREP-like searches, save them and create sets of Find Actions – allowing you to perform dozens of searches all at once.

Headings are much more than you think

Headings are easy, right? You just click the right style (in Mellel, the right auto-title) and there you have it.

But with Mellel you can achieve so much more: you can set your title to look differently than its numbering, set which headings will be numbered and if they’ll reset the numbering, set headings to always appear at the top of the page, add a running header that changes dynamically, insert tabs and line breaks in a heading (but not in the ToC), set the content of the outline (to include just the title, for example), force appending body text to headings, and so on.

With most of those, Mellel is the only word processor that allows you to do this automatically and reliably. You control how your document headings look, how the outline will look, how your Table of Contents will look, and so on. Once you’ve tried this with Mellel, it would be tough imagining how you could do without those up until now.

Cite with ease and power

Mellel offers you an easy way to handle citations and bibliographies, keeping them always in check, and preventing this delicate task from becoming tangled and annoying.

The Bibliography palette in Mellel allows you to view all the citations in the document, navigate to them, switch to a bibliography manager, scan, unscan, rescan, etc. Scanned and Unscanned citations in the text are highlighted, and you can open them and easily set special options (e.g., page numbers, omitting author or year).

Finally, there’s the bibliography: You can use the preferences to set how it will appear in the document, move it around in the document, and otherwise manipulate it.

General Features

Mellel offers you a rich and advanced yet easy to use set of features for word processing. The following list highlights some of the features in Mellel.

Writing the great American novel? Or just a small one? A scholarly book? A complex document? A play? A technical guide? Mellel offers special tools to help you write and organise long documents easily

Multilingual Support

If you need multilingual support or are writing bi-directional text, Mellel is just the thing for you. Arabic, Persian, Hebrew and Syriac never looked better on a Mac

If “none of the above” is what you need, Mellel is still the right choice: reliable, time-tested, clean, and stable.

Notes from the developer -
“Your copy of Mellel from macZOT is a permanent license with free unlimited updates. For example: People who bought Mellel via MacZot in June 2008, and in 2009 ALSO got a permanent license. Essentially, the deal with Mellel is simple: You get an application on par, or better, than MS Word, for a fraction of the price MS Word costs. The reason for that is also simple: Because we think word processors are basic, essential tools and they should be affordable.”

Dejal BlogAssist

Easy HTML markup for blogs and more.
Simon Silver and Platinum available today also – Click Here…

Normally: $14.95

ZOT Price: $7.00

BlogAssist is a handy tool to help weblog and website editing by making HTML markup easier.

There are three easy ways to use it: you can use whichever one you prefer, or all three as desired.

1. The System Menu: BlogAssist adds a small menu to the right-hand side of the menubar in all applications. You can simply select and copy some text into the clipboard, choose a suitable operation from the menu, then paste the result in the desired location. The text will have been transformed like magic. For example, copying hey and choosing Bold will result in <b>hey</b> – the HTML tags for boldface text, wrapped around the original text.
2. The Services Menu: BlogAssist also appears in the Services menu, available in most applications. This is really easy to use: just select some text and hit Cmd-< to display a small panel. Simply choose an operation and click OK to drop the marked up text back into your document. The previously copied text also appears in the panel; useful for operations like Web Link that use two values. Copy a URL, select text to use as the link label, hit Cmd-< and choose the operation, then click OK, and you have a web link nicely formatted and inserted.
3. The Floating Window: This is similar to the Services menu panel, but can be left open as long as you like. It floats above all other windows, always available. It can be hidden and shown via the BlogAssist system menu. With the floating window displayed, you simply drag text to one or both of its Value fields, choose an operation from the included pop-up menu, then drag the formatted HTML from the Result field. Like the Services panel, this window includes a convenient preview of how the HTML will be rendered in a web page.

BlogAssist comes with several useful operations, including web and e-mail links, bold/italics/strikethrough/etc, LiveJournal tags, and more. But you aren’t limited to those — you can add, change, or remove them via the Operations Preferences.

Requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

Testimonials from Existing Customers

… I really like the new version 3 user interface… Thanks for a great product!… love it, love it, love it

If you need to make company or private info available on a need to know basis, them R10Cipher is the tool for you. There are other encryption packages but I havent found an easier to use cross platform software than this one. – Paulo Pires

… Great bit of software
… Many thanks–works great! I like the upgrade

R10Cipher is simple, easy to use and powerful. It is the best encryption program for the Mac we have found.

… I love the stripped down, simplified look of the main menu. Its got all we or our clients would need… I also like to ‘Activity Log. Its useful for our records, which we have to keep heaps of in this job… what I believe to be the best-suited product for the small and mid-sized professional marketplace… I saw your app [R10Cipher] today. I liked what I saw and replaced another encryption app that I was using…. Good Job!

R10Cipher has been an excellent product for ensuring the safe and secure transmission of files in a cross platform environment. As an independent Strategy Consultant using Apple Mac, but with a client base using mostly PC platforms, I need to find a way to easily send sensitive market and financial data to clients with no hassle for my clients. R10Cipher does the job simply, easily, and with no problems at all, and causes no difficulties with clients firewalls. Enough said!… great product. – Peter M. Scott

… r10 is by far the best encryption app I have seen for os x
… R10 is working beautifully so thank you for coding it
… For straight message encryption I dont think any app beats it [r10Cipher]

R10Cipher is a fantastic cross platform tool which has given us the peace of mind that our patient sensitive research data can be transmitted electronically in a secure manner on site or with collaborators around the world. The ability to encrypt and attach files to emails or simply encrypt the email text between Apple Macs and Windows PCs without the need for complicated software installations means that our users are happy to use this great bit of software. The developers proactive approach to their software development requesting and rapidly incorporating users feedback has turned a good encryption tool into and excellent one. – Paul McGrath, Computer Manager, Cancer Research UK Clinical Centre

… the app hasnt tried to "phone home" at all so I am pretty confident in your security policies.
… Thanks, very inexpensive.

For NetFoos I am lucky enough to travel around the USA and parts of Europe to bring live streaming foosball tournaments to the foosball community. For the live streaming there is a lot of information needed to keep the server running and secure. Now, while on the road with R10Cipher, receiving this information from the home office is much easier as we can simply encrypt and email it while feeling confident that our data remains private. Although we are constantly finding new uses for the software, this one capability has made R10Cipher a great investment for us. – Mark Winker, NetFoos.com

… Nice with the new encoding feature for document files. … Very useful in transfering sensitive documents between home and office etc.

My Sony USB Microvault is so much easier than lugging my laptop through airport security, yet again. The nightmare of the lost or stolen USB stick is only too real, with the Staff Salary Reviews and the Acquisition Financials modeled in embarrassing detail. I use R10Cipher for Mac as a simple and reliable way of exchanging financial models and private placement memorandums across platforms as well as for secure storage on my USB sticks and portable hard drives. Simple, reliable and easy to use. – Karl Mattingly, Partner, slowCapital

… Still with a clean and simple interface. Reading the manual is fortunately not needed…. Love what youve done with R10 Cipher… Steve, Weve been conversing, Great responses btw, really set the tone on my deciding to purchase

R10Cipher is an excellent piece of software because of its unique encryption method, blowfish with a twist, and the fact its cross platform. Short messages can be deciphered by everyone and anyone (with the shared secret) so if you want a quick way to send sensitive data and dont want to spend hours explaining how to use pgp to a customer, friend, or colleague you just have to send them a link to your software. – Jeremy G

I have a thing for encryption programs and most sadly seem to be snake oil and try and hype on the fear factor. I was impressed that you have chosen not to go the way of the “Military Level Encryption” or “Not Even the CIA Can Break” road and simply give examples of what your product can do. Which is why after a quick play with your product, reading all the documentation and the ever important look on google for any negative things, I have purchased a couple of licences and may get more before the end of the Zot. Good work. – Kevin

Developer Question Time

ZOT: Im conversing with Steve Cholerton Lead Developer and Founder of Arten Science, creators and publishers of R10Cipher, cuteCipher and ContaxCRM amongst other products. Steves personal blog can be found at http://www.stevencholerton.com

ZOT: Steve, Whats the most unique, useful feature of your product?

SJC: I think that has to be either its simplicity and ease of use, its cross platform nature, or the ability to run it from a CD or USB Key – with no installation necessary.

ZOT: Why did you create this app? What need were you trying to satisfy?

SJC: I use Macs through choice and sometimes PCs through necessity. I needed a way to protect my documents with no fuss, regardless of what computer I was using. I have the Mac, Windows and Linux versions of R10Cipher on a USB drive on my keyring. I also have them available to my iPhone and iPad via Dropbox. My documents are always protected but always accessible.

ZOT: What features should a prospective buyer look into during a trial of your product?

SJC: Use Drag and Drop to encrypt a file. Double click to Decrypt it. How much easier can it get ? Also, Key Management. This is a very powerful part of R10Cipher and with the optional God Modeadd-on with distributed Key Database syncronisation, this feature becomes essential for large organisations and installations.

ZOT: If someone wanted a large amount of licenses for use in their organisation, can they purchase them through MacZOT?

SJC: mmm, for this one day only – yes :-)

ZOT: Thanks Steve

SJC: You are welcome.

R10Cipher FAQ

How Important is Encryption and Why Should I Bother ?

Under the Data Protection Act 1998 data controllers are required to take appropriate technical and organisational measures against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data.

In practice information that is transported or sent via email in an unencrypted format goes against this directive. A number of high profile companies have received enforcement notices which specifically detail a failure to encrypt as being a breach of the Data Protection act and Data Protection principles.

Although there is currently no strict legal obligation to encrypt personal data, this can only be a matter of time.

Encryption is important, very. When your encryption solution is as easy to use as R10Cipher, there really is no excuse not to encrypt. Your clients will thank you for it.

Tell me more about the Data Protection Act

The Data Protection Act 1998 regulates how organisations should handle personal data that relates to a living individual who can be identified.

Organisations processing personal data must do so in accordance with eight core principles.

Principle 7: Technical and organisational measures should be taken to prevent unauthorised and unlawful processing, loss or damage to personal data.

Encryption is not specifically mentioned, but is one of the best ways of complying with Principle 7. With R10Cipher compliance is easy, simple and inexpensive.

Have You Got a Free Version for Decryption Only ?

We used to provide R10Decrypt for this purpose. However with the goal of decreasing the maintenance overhead and making it easier for Decrypt Onlycustomers to upgrade to the full version, you can now use the standard R10Cipher Trial version for this purpose. To remove the Nag Screen and Overlay / Trial Version window, just enter the User Name Decrypt Onlyinto the Preferences window and clear the Serial field. Save the Preferences. You can also use the online edition of R10Cipher: http://www.artensoftware.com/scgi-bin/r10online/r10online.cgi

Can I Encrypt a Folder or Directory ?

You can encrypt the *contents* of a folder but not the folder itself. To do this first compress or zip the folder then encrypt the resulting file with R10Cipher.

Whats Key Management and Why Do I Need It ?

See this post for an Introduction to Key Management with R10Cipher, here for an explanation of the use of Passwords and Shared Secrets, here for information on Key Creation and Administration and here for Key Retrieval. There is also a Step by Step Guide to Key Management available here. There is also now available as an optional extra, Centralised Key Management. See this movie which shows how to set this up with a MySQL database:
