T/Maker puts out a sample version of Write Now.  This version does
everything the regular version does; except when you print something
it prints as a header a statement that this document was produced
using WriteNow.  I have offerred to send a copy  of this sample
program to mod.mac.binaries, and I am waiting for the moderator to
make a decision about whether to post it or not.  It has a built in
spelling checker, and some features that the other word processing
programs do not have.  I do not have enough experience to say
whether it is better or worse than the current programs or  better
than the planned MS Word 3.0.  Its major flaw in my eyes is that you
have to run a separate translator program to convert text, MS Word
or MacWrite documents to WriteNow's format.  Also you can only
convert Write/Now documents to text.
