For just a word processor, there is only one that runs under windows.  It
is called Ami and is from Samna.  However, if you want more than just a
simple word processor check out PageMaker from Aldus.

For a drawing package, I have two that use bezier curves, etc.  Adobe
Illustrator and Arts & Letters Graphic Editor.  Of the two, Illustrator
runs like a pig.  You must have at least a 286 machine and at least 2Mb
of LIM Spec memory.  I can also find nothing about it running better
with a math co-processor.  Arts & Letters, on the other hand, runs great.
It is faster, has a math co-processor version, runs on any PC, and the
new version has every feature that Adobe Illustrator 88 for the Mac has.
That is something the Adobe has not done for the PC version.
