[net.micro.pc] Info Wanted: Word Processing and Local Area Networks

chip@t4test.UUCP (Chip Rosenthal) (02/10/84)

We are attempting to set up some office work stations based
around the IBM PC.  I've got a couple of issues where some
advice would be helpful:

1)  I'm looking for a PC word processing program.  So far, of
    the ones I've tried, Wordstar and MultiMate look most
    interesting.  Of course, each has its own drawbacks and
    limitations.  Anybody have any recommendations on word
    processing programs to look into--or even ones not to 
    bother looking into?

2)  We also want to tie the PC's together to do email, file
    sharing, mini/mainframe communications, etc.  Has anybody
    dealt with any of the commercially available PC networks?
    I'd be interested in your experiences with them.

Thanks,
 Chip Rosenthal
