Can anyone give me a "consumers' reports" recommendation on word processing
packages for the ATARI 800XL?  I would like to write lengthy documents (e.g.
books) and wonder how practical it would be to do this on the ATARI.

In this regard, does anyone have any experience with modifying an ATARI 800XL
to run an 80-column display for text only or text and graphics?  Is this
practical?

By the way, I have access to information on the parallel bus connections on
the 800XL, as well as some hardware and software related to ham radio
applications - slow-scan TV reception (e.g. pictures from the space
shuttle on some recent missions), Morse code keyboard operation (uses one
external relay connected to the cassette start/stop line if you want to key a
transmitter) etc.

Thanks for any answers that are available.  Please send them to me at
jhs @ mitre-bedford, as I just sent in my request to get on the mailing list
and am not yet receiving postings.
