I am looking for a wordprocessing program that 
     runs under MS-DOS 2.11 or so (no Windows, no hard disk),
     drives both the monitor and the printer in graphics mode,
     will allow me to define the font with bit-patterns,
     will allow me to use 14x18 or 16x16 character cell-sizes on the monitor,
     will allow me to specify certain characters as diacritical marks.

This is to be able to do Indian languages, which generally have fewer or
a few more letters than English, but too complex to be displayed in a 14x9 
cell, and which contain a number of diacritical marks that may be attached 
to a large number of letters (requiring overstrikes).

Thank you.
