Short Description:
------------------
A simple and easy word processor that is perfect for those quick notes
(or even long documents). If you don't need all the fancy frills and
complex commands of the big word processors, then W - The Note Writer is
for you. "W" does Word Wrap (automatic carriage returns), allows for
editing and saving of files, allows for deletion of files and, or course,
printing. You can use continuous form or single sheet paper. Works with
all monitors and printers and requires only 256K of available memory.
Documents are saved as pure ASCII or FORMATTED files, so it can be used
to write Batch Files.
Long Description:
-----------------
W - The Note Writer was originally written for a friend's teenage
daughter who was seriously hurt in an automobile accident and now
only has use of one finger of one hand (we called it "W" to cut down
on her key-strokes). All functions of the program are "one key" (no
Ctl this or Alt that) because she could not press two keys at the
same time. The result is a simple "electronic typwriter" that allows
you to create, edit, print and delete documents of up to around 50K
bytes. "W" does automatic Word Wrap so you need not bother watching
your line lengths, just type and let "W" take care of the carriage
returns. By the way, if elected, the "soft carriage returns" used in
the Word Wrap feature will be automatically converted by W into "hard
carriage returns", which allows the "W" files to be output as pure ASCII
text files. This means that "W" can be used to create/edit Batch files
and/or programmers source files.
"W" has a unique and easy "Point & Shoot" file retrieval system for
selecting files to re-edit which we have found to be much easier and
more precise than just about any other we have seen. This feature also
allows the user to enter a short description of the document to ease
future identification.
If you don't need, or are confused by, all of those fancy frills
commands of the "full featured" word processors (like bold face, under-
lining, block moves, etc.), then "W" may be just what you are looking
for. "W" works with monochrome or color monitors (and remembers which
one you have), just about any printer, any level DOS above 2.1, floppy
or hard drive, and 256K of available memory.
