583 MindCad has released Pyramid 1.5 for OS X, a highly visual outlining and brainstorming tool. New features added since 1.4 include the ability to import OPML XML outlines, improved Kotoeri support for Japanese character sets, export as TIFF image, LinkBack support, Spotlight support for OS X 10.4 Tiger, improved sorting, and the ability to zoom out for a better overview of large worksheets.

Also new is the standalone print utility, MindCad Tiler. Developed as a companion to Pyramid, this utility can scale and print any PDF file on multiple pages to create banners and posters. The image is automatically scaled and centered in the workspace as rows and columns are added or removed. This free utility is available separately from the MindCad web site.

Pyramid allows text and images to be placed anywhere on multiple worksheets that grow dynamically in all four directions. Elements can then be arranged in elaborate visual hierarchies, and optionally linked to external documents and web pages. The software is designed to help people focus on ideas and their underlying relationships, as opposed to wasting creative energy on the mechanics of formatting and presentation.

A full-featured, save-disabled demo is available for free at

The demo includes an introductory tutorial. The full version of Pyramid sells for $49.
