Well, it's now possible to have STWriter _and_ GDOS!  My new program, G-Print,
prints 1ST Word, Word Writer ST, and ST Writer documents with GDOS fonts.
It runs in 512K and requires opnly a single-sided drive and a monitor capable
of displaying medium or high resolution.  It has quite a number of options
available, but since this is getting commercial, I won't list them here.
For more information, send me e-mail or else call MacDonald Associates
Publishers (ST Informer people) who are publishing it at (503) 476-0071.

Have fun.
