Unfortunately, the developers of 1st Word Plus, GST, seem to have largely
abandoned development for the ST market. They do still support their
products with advice, etc. (for a price), but no bug fixes have been 
forthcoming of late. There was a report in ST World, I think, that they
were about to do some more development of Timeworks DTP, so I don't know
if Atari have been able to spur them into action again with the launch of the
TT...
