5292.0. "Amiga ProWrite for the IBM PC?" by COOKIE::WITHERS (Bob Withers - In search of a quiet moment) Thu Dec 19 1991 18:23

I'm looking for ProWrite like the Amiga has for MS DOS and Windows/3.  I have a
notebook PC now - I gave up waiting for something Amiga-like - and want to keep
using the same word processor I have on my "main" system.

I know there's a ProWrite for the PC, but its by a different company and
doesn't look-and-feel the same.

Any ideas?

    The publishers of the Amiga ProWrite (New Horizons) do not produce an
    MS-DOS or Windows version for PCs.
    
    The closest thing to Amiga ProWrite is Microsoft Word for Windows.  In
    order to get any kind of decent response from Windows, you'll need at
    least a 16-20 MHz 386sx type laptop and 2-4 MB of ram.  I hope you
    didn't buy a 286 - it will work, but poorly.

    Quick, look, did anybody else see that. Was the author of the previous
    note really ED ACCIARDI! Hey Ed, how's things going?  :-)
