Thanks to all who responded about word processing packages for the UNIX-PC

Summary:
	Micrsoft Word seems to be available running under UNIX and also
	the MS-DOS version apparently runs on a DOS-73 card

	There are a couple of other packages including one called SMART
	which also has spreadsheet and database capabilities.

	Most (all?) packages are getting rather old and as the market
	seems to have dried up are not being upgraded.

Thanks also to thos who offered to seel me their word processors.  One
kind person has actually donated a package so on a performance/price
consideration I now have the ideal.

	Thanks you one and all  ...  Ken Cochran      mtdca!kwmc
