The SpellBinder word processing program supports true
proportional spacing.  It has tables of characters widths, and
the ability to create others.  I haven't used it with a
proportional spacing type wheel, but I am persuaded that it works
well.  The SpellBinder program includes a programming language,
called MSPEAK, which is nice for writing little routines, and a
number of specialized programs written in MSPEAK.  The
documentation is not as clear as it might be, however, and the
formatting capabilities are not as rich as, say, the Final Word.
There is no automatic numbering of sections, and no ability to
make an index.  SpellBinder is produced by Lexisoft, Inc.  of
Davis, California.
