* 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,... /\ |\/ \/| Homer Robson _|\ | | /|_ Develcon Electronics Ltd. \ \| |/ / 856 - 51st.
