well, we have the cute new sunwrite et. al. up now and it looks great.  a
bit slow on a 3/50, which is a shame since that would be a pretty logical
machine to give to users who do a lot of word processing given its price
these days.  user reception has been very positive, which with
user-oriented programs like this is very important.  two complaints about
the software, both well warranted.  the first is that there appears to be
no method of obtaining a directory listing from within the package (ouch),
and that the print function doesn't seem to have an option for the number
of copies to print 8-(.  we could have missed something on those two, but
we don't think so.  one would hope for a speedy enhancement to fix these
two shortcomings of an otherwise pretty surprisingly decent package.
