try microsoft word -> due to a bug in the program, sometimes when you think
that the text is formatted as it appears on the screen, you will see that
some words will print out with characters overlapped!!! (many a lab report
was screwed up in this manner)       :-)

maybe its just the version of gdos.prg that i'm using

will atari or microsoft ever release a bug free version of this word processor?
its really not that bad, if you get rid of the bugs, and speed it up a few
times!!! :-)
