I am searching for a mouse-driven word-processing program for my C128 that will output to a daisywheel printer. It doesn't have to be WYSIWYG, but it should be simple enough for a 13-year old to use. (I have Paperclip III, but even I can't remember its arcane commands). Right now we use GEOwrite 2.1 because of its excellent human interface, but that program can't be customized like Paperclip to drive my daisywheel printer with its proportionally spaced printwheel. (GEOwrite works fine with a fixed-pitch printwheel.) So what other programs are out there, even in (gasp!) CP/M mode? Joe Haggerty AT&T Bell Laboratories, Whippany, NJ attunix!whamr!jph
