--> If you mean editors that work exclusively with TXT files; then
    I'm not sure of others - there's Speedwrite, but it saves files
    in some sort of binary format, IIRC.  If you mean word processors,
    then there's tons of them: Multiscribe, WordPerfect 1.1, Bank
    Street Writer, Magic Window II, Miliken Word Processor,
    Homeword (an early fav!), Homeword Plus, Format-80, Pie Writer,
    II Write, and there's others, but that's all I have that you've
    not mentioned already.  Umm, there's Beagle Write, which I believe
    was bought by Apple and re-released as AppleWorks GS (others will
    correct me if I'm wrong, I'm sure).
