Wordprocessing on the Amiga

[Jose]

Wordworth7 Ruled!
I think there would still be a chance with Digita.  Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Wordworth7 come out for the Amiga only.
And Wordworth was recognized on the PC, so from the recognition from the public point of view it would be great too!
Fingers crossed that Digita will license the rights to some Amiga company to OS4

I to used final copy II. It was an ok program, but it had too few fonts, and new ones costed a bundle (I think 200-300$ for five extra fonts or something  :-o )
As I have stated before im currently trying to create a word editor myself. It uses ttengine and will therefore have all of ttengines options: kerning, antialias and alot of free fonts. The first version will be very simple. But the project is thought to be very open so a spellchecker (or whatever) easily can be added afterwards.
The project is kind of on low priority right now. Mainly because im taking my masters degree right now, and... yeah an Amigaone with aos would help abit aswell :-D

I assume it isn't possible to get truetype font compatiblity into either WordWorth 4 SE or FinalCopy II?

Hi,

About a wordprocessor for the (new) Amiga or MorphOS.

I use Wordworth V7.01 now for years, and I must say that it is very, very stable. More over it meets most of my general requirements in a wordprocessor. In short: I very much like it!!

Quite a time ago I have contacted Digita about their portfolio of Amiga-related software, current status and maintainance. The answer was, unsurprisingly: If you come up with a pile of banknotes than everything is for sale! Thank you the cuckoo. Even then M$ is for sale and what would I want with that?

A shorter while ago I started rebuilding the GUI of Wordworth in ReActor and it is partly finished now. Maybe I again change GUI for MUI as it is native to MorphOS. And Pegasos/MorphOS is on the market NOW!

Yes, I intend to give Wordworth another chance albeit not under the name of WordWorth. The name I''ve given the project is: WordWeight. Rough estimation makes me believe that anything palpable will be around X-Mas. Oh, X-Mas 2003 to be more precize.

But you can help me out a bit.
What parts of WW7 do you like, which ones you don't? Please give me a clue along with menu, item & subitem as well as requesternames.
The same goes for FW. I don't have a copy of that app, but if your a bit generous with text, I can make things out.
Give all the features you use a gradation from 0 (zero) to 9, where 0 means utter crap and 9 means a major boon.

My email is tjitte@castel.nl. Groningen, The Netherlands.

If your word processor is able to load MS Word files, then that would be a MASSIVE selling point. I would purchase it in fact, just to have one less reason to own a PC.

Good luck with your project.
