I test drove excellence 2.0 on a 3000. It was awful slow (you watched as
your selected text changed font or resized).

Excellence (on the phone) said that they have no plans now or in the future
to support the ESC modes (productivity and 1000*800 whatever) which really
stinks.  Unless you mind splintering text and cursor from motion artifact,
the resolution of hires interlaced is pretty good but when your given a mode
like 640*480 or 1000*800 why not support it?

Micro-Systems has a great wordprocessor, though.  There were loads of features.
Id like to see this thread grow.  Are there any good PD or shareware ones?

Doug
