I tried Word Perfect and Turbo C on PC-Ditto.  Both are way too slow
to be useful, in my opinion.  I expected WP to be OK since it is an
interactive program but it is rather slow on a real 8088 and about
4 or 5 times slower still in PC-Ditto.  20+ seconds to jump from one
end of a 30K file to another.  Disgusting.

Anyone with experiences of the ST (native) WP?  Can you print to a Laser
printer from it?  Save as Postscript?  Gem Metafile?
