There's been some discussion in this group lately of the recently
released Microsoft Write. The participants in the discussion seem to
be using "MS Write" and "MS Word" interchangeably. Is MS Write really a
full implementation of Word? If so, why the name difference? I don't
know very much about Word, but I had a quick look at the Write manual
at my local Atari dealer the other day, and it looked pretty basic. My
suspicion is that Microsoft has done it again, and released a poor cousin
of Word for the ST. Could someone who's used Word on ms-dos machines have
a look at Write, and set my suspicious mind to rest?
