Word processing on classic amiga?
« on: June 17, 2010, 07:37:44 AM »
What is a decent word processor with a reasonable graphical interface, that will run on 3.1 with very limited ram (2 megabyte +)

I have a copy of Final Writer 97 but it wont run. I guess I'll wait with that until I get my accelerator card in the mail, and look for an older version until then.

Any preferences between Final Writer and Wordworth ?

OS 3.1 should be fine for Final Writer 97.  Not sure how much RAM is required.  My manual is from an earlier version and says "Final Writer will work on any Amiga with at least 2.5 megabytes of available internal memory."  For sure, it requires a hard disk.

I used Final Writer on my A2000HD with 5 megabytes of RAM and no accelerator card (using the stock 68000 CPU).  I went through a few upgrades to Final Writer 97 and it worked fine.

thats propably the problem, as I have so far only 2 megs of ram, and the hard drive install eats into that.
