New Final Writer 7 Pre-Installed on A600GS

[Marcio D.]

Final Writer has been in put back into active development over recent years.
Version 7 will soon will make it's debut pre-installed on the A600GS computer.

Too bad the spell checker isn't included, as most modern word processors have it built-in.  But I can understand it being a paid feature for Final Writer 7, especially if AmigaKit paid little or nothing for the privilege of bundling Final Writer 7 with the A600GS.



Two questions:


Does the A600GS include the necessary printer drivers and other necessary infrastructure in the OS to allow printing using modern printers, whether through wi-fi or USB connection?  If not, then FW7 feels pointless.


How much will the spell checker module for FW7 cost?  Hopefully it's a reasonable price.

Wouldn't it make more sense to classify Final Writer 7 as an Application, rather than as a Utility?

Perhaps a separate directory named Applications to hold Final Writer 7, as well as future additions such as spreadsheet programs, database programs, etc.?

So, when it seems to be out now, how is Final Writer 7 working? Everything runs stable? PDF output is good? Printing works? Any reviews anywhere?

Good questions, echoing what I asked above about whether or not FW7 can print to modern printers.

As enticing as it is to play games on the A600GS, the inclusion of software like FW7 makes it infinitely more useful and enjoyable.

For example, If I'm writing a notice or newsletter for a Commodore users group, I'd rather use FW7 instead of Microsoft Word.  Provided FW7 is competent enough overall, even if not as slick and advanced as MS Word.
