I have owned my Apple ][+ since 1981 and from the start have
used an excellent, sophisticated, powerful, non-memory based
word processor called ScreenWriter (used to be Super Scribe)
from Sierra On-Line Systems.  It allows alternate character
sets (I have done a little in Russian and a lot in Spanish).
The file size is limited only by disk space.  Because of my
status as a poverty-stricken grad student, I never was able to
afford an 80-col card (or even move to ProDOS), but there is
a viewing mode that shows 70 cols of what your document looks
like on the graphics screen.  The world may have passed me by
and everything I own is now obsolete, but it worked in 1981
and it works today.  The software was and is very powerful.

In reply to apple hardware never failing.  Not true.  My
][+ has been on the blink for 1 1/2 wks now, but I'm too poor
to take it in--I'm trying to fix it myself.  It won't reset.
Don't know why.  Help anyone?
