  There is no known difference (at least to me) on the output quality.

  That's because MWrite allows you to "double" an existing GDOS font to get
a larger point size. For instance, if you only have Dutch (Serif/Times Roman)
point 12 installed, MWrite would give you access to 12 point (regular, smooth
looking) and 24 point (jagged, blocky). WordUp, on the other hand, will only
give you 12 points. It ensures everything looks nicer, but then you'll have to
dedicate more RAM for holding larger point sizes.

  Considering that WordUp costs only $80 (MWrite, bewfore rebates, is $130)
and offers 90% of MWrite's features with a few more of its own, I always
recommend WordUp over MWrite. (But then I've pretty much become infamous on
this point  B-)
