 I have seen an 80 col word processor for the 8-bits advertised in Antic
before... I think the program is called "Richman's Word Processor"... I
regularly use a simulated "80-col" vt100 emulator... in fact I'm using it
right now with vi to write this, and it is definitely liveable... I also 
have the Chameleon terminal emulator which scrolls... Chameleon is good,
but for scanning text, it is a real pain to have to scroll horizontally...
this simulated 80-columns is ok to read... obviously not sharp and crisp..
and often ambiguous, but you can figure things out from context... amazing
the way the mind works... (=> not good for exacting work like creating
data files, though, eh?)
