Is Write, distributed on the Windows 3.0 disk for real? I mean I started using the thing and I like the multiple fonts, etc but whenever I type I see it refresh the screen in an obviously dumb algorithm of repainting lots of things that are unnecessary and it's so damn slow when this stuff starts happening. Also, using the mouse to select the whole file is painfully slow, even on a 1-2 page document. Do I just have the thing configured badly? Is seems more and more apparent to me that as I utilized the MicroSoft provided Windows 3.0 tools, that they were probably never meant to be real live production type tools to actually get work done, but just toys to demonstrate what window application can do. Is this the case?
