Applewriter 2.1 patches



Recently, I have begun to take a second look at the P8 wordprocessor 
Applewriter.  Since I got my first //e in 1984, I have used various 
incarnations of this program.  I used 2.1 to write my 140 page 
master's thesis a couple years ago.  I do use AW4.3 and find it very 
useful.

But, just for the sake of returning to an old friend, I would
like to update Applewriter 2.1 a little.  I have applied patches that 
were created by Don Thompson--they're great and should be useful when 
I begin to do some WPL programming again.

Unfortunately, in Applewriter 2.1, the user is limited to editing 
documents that are only 46,845 characters long (roughly 20 typed 
pages).  So, I am looking for patches that will allow me to use the 
available GS memory, slinky memory cards, or bank-swtiched memory 
cards.

I know that Chester Page has created patches specifically for the GS, 
including one that expands the use of GS memory (GSAW.MAKER.SHK).  I 
don't know if patches were ever made for slinky or bank-switched mem.
I have been unable to locate any of the Chester Page patches 
on GEnie, GRIND, CalTech, or UMich.  I heard they were once on AOL but
I do not have access there.  

If anyone has any of these patches, or _any_ interesting Applewriter 
patches, please post here or Email me.
