Summary: I just saw _it_!! (GDOS)


I went into Federated last night and saw Microsoft word.  There were
no salesmen about (not like Federated, where you are usually harassed
by three at a time! :-) so I opened it and looked inside....

Well, it comes with a GDOS disk and three fonts for those with enough
memory or a GDOS supported output device (EPSON and ATARI Laser Printer
right?)...  So GDOS has emerged from the depths of rumours and bad
licensing agreements, eh?

Microsoft Word doesn't look too bad either...probably is more bug-free
than WordPerfect, but I haven't used either one yet...  Anyone have any
comparisons?
