Hello group
I'm toying with the idea of writing a simple word processing package along
the lines of Wordstar for my Retrochallenge 2015/01 entry.
I have used many word processing packages over the years on many machines
from 8-bit machines to mainframes. Within the following bounds I'd love to
know the packages that have been the favourite of list members over the
years and why.
Wordstar. Liked it on the Rainbow, really well. Simple control sequences, fast, reliable.
But, I didn?t use many of them; the only other I remember was Scripsit on TRS-80 which was
so-so.
