WORD PROCESSORS.

Abstract

To choose seven state-of-the-art word-processing packages, programs are looked at that combined a full complement of editing options with some outstanding new feature or virtue. Choices for the top three Macintosh word processors are T/Maker's Write Now version 1. 0 (175), MindWord Software's MindWrite version 1. 0 (295), and Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 3. 0 (395). Choices for the top four MS-DOS word processors are Lotus Manuscript version 1. 0 (495), Word-Perfect's WordPerfect version 4. 2 (495), Microsoft Word for the PC version 3. 1 (450), and Dragonfly Software's Nota Bene version 2. 0 (495). Many other fine programs are available, and, for some particular application, one of them might be better than the selected seven.
