All,
      Does anyone out in Amiga-Land know of a Word Processor that doesn't
      keep all DATA (TEXT) in memory?., but saves parts of the TEXT to
      a temporary file?

      I mean, why have the whole document in RAM, but have it on disk.
      This way a 512k Amiga owner could write a 700k file and
      not worry about RAM being sucked away.

      This would be good even for users with 9 megs of RAM.  I know 9 megs
      is a lot, but a 44meg removable hard drive (GVP) could hold a huge
      document.

      Its true that using the floppy drive would be somewhat slower, but for
      those who have hard drives wouldn't have to worry.

      What do you Amiga lovers think?? I know I'd like atleast the OPTION.
