Can anyone tell me how to get GeoWrite to print-out double-spaced? I'm using a C64 with a Citizen MSP1000 dot-matrix parallel printer and adapter to the Commodore. Alternatively, Can anyone tell me where to get (or provide) a simple word-processing program for the Commodore? No frills are needed for the high-schooler who wants to use this; just DOUBLE SPACING, a 12-point font, and rather primitive capabilities. Thanks to the net in advance. Jeff Frey 301-405-3644

If you are using a version of GeoWrite v2.0 or higher, you can click on the box labeled "2" under the ruler. If your GeoWrite is an older version, I think you're out of luck. > Alternatively, Can anyone tell me where to get (or provide) a simple > word-processing program for the Commodore?

A good, reliable word processor that is easy to use and can do double spacing (though any fonts are dependant on the printer... on an MSP1000, you would only have the normal one and NLQ, in a variety of styles and pitches. Consult your manual for the codes needed to access these.) is SpeedScript 3.2 from Compute! I don't know where you can obtain a copy legally, but someone might.

A legal copy costs only about $15 from a user group and comes complete with manuals and a terriffic intuitive spell checker.
