The demonstrator announced that the program had a number of bugs at this stage and quite a few features were not implemented or incomplete. He also announced the program would probably not be available until March (1987 I presume). The program was impressive, it does indeed allow multiple fonts, colored text even (which doesn't seem that useful to me), on screen headers and footers, in a WYSIWYG package. It was SLLLOOOOWWWWW though, in scrolling, screen updates, TYPING even. I am TRYING to be objective although its not that easy since I am writing a word processor also and am aware of the problems they're running into. Overall, it looks promising, although quite a way from release. Paul. Disclaimer: I work for myself, and my opinions are my own.
