A couple of comments on PC-WRITE:

I use it all the time, and find it can do most of what I need done.  I
recommend it.

If you want to try it out, you can FTP it from <CC.GALVIN.PUBLIC> (along
with a bunch of other programs).

Ron mentioned that the help screens were less than wonderful.  Conveniently
enough, the help screens are stored as an ordinary text file (and read by
PC-WRITE at startup), so you can edit them to contan the information you'd
like to see.  The only limitation is that the help can only take up 7 screens
(it uses the screen pages to store help, and allow quick display).

Also, there's a switch you can set in your RULER files to make PC-WRITE
keep tabs as tabs (but they are displayed on the screen as a graphics
character, not as spaces).

All in all it's a fine word processor, easily customizable and very fast.
