I have found that Sun Remarketing in Logan, Utah, has more Apple manuals
than anyone else. I believe Sun is Apple's designated place to handle old
manuals, but I do not know exactly what the relationship is.

MackLink(Plus) Bridge (PPC or not depending on what kind of Mac you have)
is a file that lets certain programs use MacLink translators. I don't know
where it has to be for Nisus Writer to work, but for ClarisWorks, the file
needs to be here:
Macintosh HD
System Folder
Claris
Claris Translators
MacLinkPlus Bridge PPC
I have a file called "MacLinkPlus Bridge PPC" but "MacLink Bridge PPC" may
exist as well. If you can find either of these on your HD (a version
without the PPC may work as well, at least for CW) and they aren't where
they should be try moving a copy to the above location and see if CW is
fixed.
I hope someone else can help you with Nisus Writer.
