It was thus said that the Great Max Eskin once stated: Used to. Between '86 and '91 I used my Coco II (maxed to 64K RAM, one disk drive, Tandy Daisy wheel printer) for word processing, and even made a few bucks doing resumes (not enough to recover the price of the disk and printer though 8-) Everything [1] for print was done on that system, including a humor column for the university paper [2] using VIP Writer. Not a bad system; mostly like nroff. Now, I use either PE [3] or joe for most of my word proccessing needs, and am learning TeX. What a neat system. -spc (And TeX is the only program I know of to be garunteed bug free) [1] Almost everything. A few columns were literally banged out on a portable manual Smith-Corona, which is older than I am (and I still have it). [2] Check http://www.armigeron.com/people/spc/writings/murphy for the columns. Transferring them from the Coco (aqnd VIP Writer format) to the server was ... interesting, and involved two intermediary systems. [3] PE 1.0, copyright 1982 by IBM for MS-DOS 1.x and above. In the 11 years I've been using that program, I've not come across one bug yet. Impressive program.
