[G] Re: A topic to clarify the facts/WriteNow

[Are Hansen]

Ah.. WriteNow! Definitely the best word processing program I have ever 
met, any platform. It was my trusted work horse for over 10 years as a 
professional writer. As stated, it had very small requirements for both 
RAM and HD space, very fast and saved small (compressed?) documents. So 
small in fact, that even the last version could be run on a 
one-discette Mac Plus without a HD! And totally consistent, following 
Apples Human Interface Guidelines exactly - you never saw the 
greyed-out "Can't Undo" you meet in lots of other applications.

I always laughed and shook my head about the endless problems and 
discussions around M$ Word. Ever heard of a mail-list for WriteNow 
problems...?

In fact, it is the only thing I miss from the pre-OSX days. WriteNow 
broke in 8.5/8.6 (so I stayed in 8.1), but worked again from 9.0 
onwards. Ran it for a while under Classic (which works perfectly on my 
G4 iBook 933MHz), before finally dumping my longtime lover and moving 
to TextEdit. Not at all the same thing, but...

Looking forward to Apples new word processor Pages. But if WriteNow 
could somehow be resurrected to native OSX I would be very happy, and 
pay any price!
