It is very easy to install on hard disk or floppy systems, and requires only 256k RAM to run, although it can take advantage of more. It has a flag associated with it that will cause it to load all of itself into RAM, even though the default is to operate with overlays. We just got in our updates to 4.1. I'm impressed. I liked it before. Now it's faster, has a better on-line help system, has an automatic rewrite function, for those of you who have had to do it manually in the past. It even comes with 194 printer definitions, in case you need an exact driver. The thesaurus is nice, very fast, and easy to use. Extra programs include a printer program that will allow you to define a driver interface for your own printer, or customize one of the existing drivers, the convert program mentioned here before that will translate to and from Navy DIF, Wordstar, Multimate, and other formats. There are a lot of things I left out that. The best way to get to know it all is to get a demo from someone who has it. John Jabusch
