[] I tried Word Perfect and Turbo C on PC-Ditto. Both are way too slow to be useful, in my opinion. I expected WP to be OK since it is an interactive program but it is rather slow on a real 8088 and about 4 or 5 times slower still in PC-Ditto. 20+ seconds to jump from one end of a 30K file to another. Disgusting. Anyone with experiences of the ST (native) WP? Can you print to a Laser printer from it? Save as Postscript? Gem Metafile? - Moshe Braner
