I am looking for a word processor to use with the C64 for
compiling a news letter. Following are a list of things that I
think may be important in this task. If you can comment on your
favorite processor, and mail the comments to me, I will
summarize and post to the net.
- Editor convenience... scrolls up & down, page fwd,
page back, search, s/replace, 80 col option, (vi like??).
- Ability to move blocks of text.
- Ability to read in other files, or include portions
of text from external files.
- Capability of printing page headers & footers.
- Automatic table of contents ???? (NROFF like)
- right or left or fill justify.
- Previewing of finished product prior to printing.
- Document length limitations, & chaining capabilities.
- multiple collumn output.
- Performance of the spelling checker option.(speed,convenience)
- mailing list and text insert list capability for
personalizing batch letters.
- What printer interfaces are supported... I don"t have
an interface yet.
- Ability to make use of spreadsheet files. Esp. MULTIPLAN
- Compatability with 1541FLASH (a nice disk drive speed option)
- Price of the processor.
- Any other comments that you have..........??
Please reply by mail to the path below. I will summarize to the net if
there is sufficient interest. Thankyou,...
