If you like markup languages (which I do), there is a wonderful word processor for dos available as groff: http://oak.oakland.edu/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/gro110b.zip This is the GNU version of the unix desktop publisher, troff. You mark up a plain text file with commands that start with a dot, such as .ce for center the next line or .ip for make the next lines an indented paragraph. You run groff.exe (a 32 bit program) on the whole file, as a batch job. Therefore, groff can handle large files of virtually any size that can be stored on your disk. This is not a WYSIWYG system, but one can pretty esily create an instant text previewer of a block of text, or of the whole document. Groff itself comes with a print driver for plain equal spaced fonts, like courier, or for postscript printers. If you have a HP printer that uses the hp print language, you need to add Aladden Ghostscript and/or Ghostview to this package. These programs will translate groff output into the HP print language, and will provide a graphics previewer for your documents. Groff, Ghostscript, and Ghostview are all freeware. I had the whole system working like a charm for a while on my HP inkjset, but have not used it in a while. Groff/ghostscript handles pictures and images along with text.
