Re: editor recommendations for older apple II+

In a previous article, rs43+@andrew.cmu.edu (Robert Sturges) says:

Yuk...I remember that...much better with the same concept was Magic Window II.
It allows pretty readable 70 column text on the hires screen, and it's a lot
easier to use than On-Line's Screenwriter. It was made by ArtSci I believe
(or was that Strip Poker? ;) but I don't think you'll have much luck finding
either of them for sale...

Freeware alternatives include FredWriter and the recently PD'd AppleWriter,
both obtainable via FTP to cco.caltech.edu or plains.nodak.edu, or probably
from GEnie and the like.
