What is Decathlon? Is there a list of all these
products somewhere?
I have a copy of Microsoft Word for DOS 4.0; looks a
lot like
Multiplan. (A pity!)
I prefer the Word interface to Word Perfect. Less memorizing of
strange
function keys

I have a friend who detests WP and loves Wordstar. I pinned him down
one day; he worked with Wordstar and had pirated WP. (He'd never seen
an overlay.)
My opinion; whatever you use becomes familiar and easy-to-remember.
I prefer WP's F3-F3 approach to Word/Wordstar's confiscation of screen
space and can never remember the control-key sequences.
