I won't argue merits of word processors: I will second the motion to
go try thethem out. I like WFW 2.0 (for that matter I liked Word for DOS
and WFW 1.1 if you want a calibration!) based on the same kind of
comparison shopping. I did want to point out two things, though: (1) AMI
wasn't written by Lotus but bought by them: That may say something
about tech support, and future developments, but not about its
producers. (2) WFW 2.0 has a grammar checker built in. I forget who
wrote it: It was bought by MS as a product to integrate. I hate both
Grammatik (which I also have) and the built in checker: They try to
make documents with content sound like they came from the Harvard
Business School! They are amusing though, when you let them tell you
the reading level and other statistics for your beloved words...
