It's fairly inexpensive. My ten year old uses it for his school work. I believe documents can be no more than 50 pages in length. Everything is menu driven! If all you want is a simple editor, several are available thru anonymous FTP sites, such as wuarchive.wustl.edu in the directory: mirrors/msdos/editor. -- DISCLAIMER?

Some reccos for mini word processors:
First, if you DO need a real wp, try LetterPerfect, a new baby version of ly version of
WordPerfect 5.1 which does run on a single 720k diskette. It produces
5.1 compatible files (which can be easily converted with Mac WordPerfect's
coversion program. Second, if decent text editing is more what you need,
try VDE 1.54, a FREE ASCII editor which is small, fast, and writes and reads
WordPerfect 5.1 files and can even imitate some of it's function keys, and
I know this message is going to look REALLY strange, but I'm new to this and
don't have my vi pocket guide with me. So sorry! also uses WordStar commands and/or a menu. Files limited to 64k.

It will work on a single 720k drive
