SilvrDrgn,

I own Wordworth 6 and it's great.  Unfortunately, Digita no longer support the Amiga, so any copy you get of their software, don't expect any tech support from them.  I believe the last version was 7.0.

A friend of mine bought Amiga Writer a while back to replace Final Writer, and while his words can't be reposted here for fear of me losing my account, suffice it to say that it sucks like a black hole in space.  Haage & Partner are behind this one, and it's still supported by them.  Go figure, the only good products that ever came out of them are AmigaOS 3.9 and StormC.

Final Writer, according to him, is still pretty decent, but like Wordworth, is no longer being supported, and you'll be hard-pressed to find a copy still for sale.  Softwood's web site has been "not available" for the better part of the last two years, although the domain name is registered till 2006.  Maybe they're hoping for a comeback. :-)

Personally speaking, Wordworth would be your best choice if you want to get close to what WordPerfect is like on the "PC".  But that's as close as you'll get, "close".
