Someone recently phoned me recently asking for help converting exactly this
sort of DA to work on a MAC+ (she had it working fine on a 512).
Unfortunately, following the phone call she never showed up in person
with the program.  So as far as I know, she doesn't have it on a Mac+ yet,
and I don't have it at all.  Anyone wanting more information should send
me mail... maybe I'll get something soon.
 
The Davka corporation of Chicago produces a word processing program that
goes in both directions, in the same file, or even in the same paragraph.
It's $199, $149 for education-type people.  Maybe it's worth it?
