I think MacWrite II is a very nice program; it would probably become my word processor of choice if not for one critical flaw: typing is VEERRRYY slow on my SE. Not quite as bad as say, FullWrite, but bad enough to make heavy text entry quite an aggravating experience. Even crufty old MacWrite 5.0 was faster at entering text. Also, does "100K reduction in size" refer to the size of the file on disk, or the size of the required Multifinder partition (or both)?
