Just add the new PFS:Write, according to a mailing I got from
TigerSoftware offering it with a bunch of extras for $49.95.  All it
supposedly requires is 640K of RAM and a hard disk, on a PC, XT, AT or
compatible.  No Windows required.

According to further info I got on the phone, it won't do WYSIWYG on
Hercules monochrome, but it will do it on CGA or better.
