We're converting our department office word processing equipment from dedicated
CPT word processors to IBM PS/2 model 30's.  We've purchased one unit and
another two are on order.  We originally thought of using the T3 word
processor, but this package requires 550K to run and this means that
we cannot load the network software at the same time.

Does anyone have a recommendation for another WP?  We need one that will
support a postscript printer, be relatively easy to learn, doesn't use
as much RAM as T3 (under 350K would be nice), and work with the model 30's
video (MCGA).  It should be VERY easy to format complex equations with
this word processor.

If necessary, we can purchase a VGA card if we need EGA graphics capabilities.

Some thing that would be nice to have would be WYSIWYG, and dazzling
use of the color display (our secretaries love blue screens).

Thanks in advance for all advice.
