Us too. Annie and I are trying to convince Bristol University that they should lay in some ST's. One of the more obvious uses would be to replace some of the I*M clones which we use as wordprocessors. However that's not on until an ST wordprocessor comes out which will do proportional spacing. (The I*M around the corner from my office will do P/S, quite nicely too, thanks, *and* thru an HP laserprinter into the bargain. If that blessed little machine can do it, why can't ST's? (I know, I know, no GDOS. That may be a reason, but it's not an excuse.) We had a pretty comprehensive look around about a month ago, and it appears that there are no WP's for the ST which will properly support P/S. There's apparently a chance that MicroSoft Write will do proportional spacing, but then that's been 'out any day now' for a good few months. If anyone finds a good P/S WP for the ST, I'd like to know too...
