[ I saw the best lines of my generation destroyed by madness ] It's about time someone did this: a decent overview of wordprocessing systems available for the Amiga, including (but not limited to) text editor/preprocessor combinations (TxEd and AmigaTeX, for example); WYSIWYG programs like TextCraft Plus, ProWrite, and VizaWrite; and non-WYSIWYG wordprocessors like Scribble 2.0 and WordPerfect. I doubt that anyone has access to *all* of these -- if you do, *please* post a comparative review to the net -- so what I'd like to do is to hear from individuals who own just one or a couple packages, and then post a sort of cross-referenced comparison. Please include everything about the program you can think of, including, but not limited to: "feel" maximum file sizes WYSIWYG? fonts? font sizes? styles? footnotes? footers? robustness cost update-ability visible page breaks complexity simplicity "learning curve" Your help is sincerely appreciated, and, as I said, I will summarize to the net. I and countless others will be forever grateful.
