Hi!  I'm looking at getting a NeXT fairly (very) soon, and will soon be in
need of a good, solid word processing program.  I've used WordPerfect on 
the PC, and I've been quite pleased with it, but I've heard some negative
things about thier NeXT version.  So, I'm seeking input on word processing
programs.  The ones I currently know of are Write by Appsoft, WordPerfect
by WordPerfect, FrameMaker (by Frame?), and PasteUp by RightBrain.

What I'm searching for is both good and bad points for the programs noted
above, plus any others I may have missed.  What does the program do well?
What does it do really badly?  Will WordPerfect be supporting NeXT in the
future (I've heard that they're developing on NeXTs, but that doesn't mean
they're going to want to release if the market's too small).  Please e-mail
to me, and I'll summarize to the net.

My views have nothing to do with Oracle's views.  If you think they do, then
I know a really cheap bridge in Brooklyn that I could sell you...
