Z-Link. Or Kermit has good VT-100, too. Freeware. If you get AWGS, be sure
that it is version 1.1, which is a stable word processor.

Personally, I do all my word processing in a Teach-style text editor
(Hermes, generally. Freeware). If I need more than one ruler bar or
superscripts or a spell check, I import the document into GraphicWriter
III and do my layout there. I prefer this to using a complex word
processor.
