Someone posted a note here a week or so ago about OmniWriter, the 80
column word processor available from Newell Industries with their
OmniView OS upgrade.  Supposedly this word processor is "seamless" in
that it addresses the extended memory in an XE.  My question is what
is the size of the largest editable text file it will handle?  And
will it fully use the 1Meg upgrade they offer?  (a 1Meg upgrade for
only $100 bucks!  Now what the hell do I do with all that memory?)
 
Along the same lines, does anyone know of any word pro for the 8-bits
that fully uses extended memory?  I've heard talk that PaperClip does,
but only as a Ramdisk.  I'd really like something that supports 80
columns and will efficiently allow the editing of large (50-100k) files.
If you know anything about this, please respond!  I've asked before
and received only dead silence as an answer!
