OK. For me it is ShadowWrite 1.3.3 (for general word processing),
GraphicWriter III 2.0 (for producing a monthly newsletter, letters,
invoices, etc. and for translating to and from RTF), Spectrum 2.1 (which I
am using now, and which encodes/decodes binhex and binscii for me), and
HyperCard IIgs, for both database management and all of those little
specialized jobs for which I don't have software. If these were the only
programs on my hard drive, I could do 90+ % of the work that I do on a GS.

I'd also mention a graphic conversion program and an art program, except
that I use several of each.
