     There is a very good super-res word processor which uses _much_ less
space. CoolWriter 3.0 by Rolf Braun is 57k; so, it loads very quickly. (In
fact, it has replaced Teach as my quickie Text file reader.)

     It supports different fonts (in various sizes, styles, colors).  One
very nice feature is that CW 3.0 can load and save SoftDisk-format text.
It can also load/save Teach, and Text files. It can load (but, not save) 
classic Appleworks files. A handy Edit function lets you strip off those
annoying LF characters, too.

     CW 3.0 is freeware. It should be available on popular A2 ftp sites.

     Coolwriter does not, evidently, have any data base or
desktop-publishing components; but, it could! Perhaps SQC could contact
the author and get "AWGS 2.0" back on-track.
