In view of Technology Works' offer of Fullwrite for free with a
4 meg purchase, this might be a good time to finally replace
my old, original MacWrite.

My general impression is that the leading contenders are
MSWord, Fullwrite, MacWrite, and WriteNow, with the 1st 2
roughly tied for best, WriteNow in 2nd place, and MacWrite II a
distant 3rd.

Are there other contenders for a robust, conveniently interfaced,
full featured processor?

What are the strengths and weaknesses of these and other contenders
with respect to each other?

Thanks.
