If Bob Van der Poel would release VED (and VPRINT, etc.) to freeware, that  
would be great. That was my (and Bill's, and Alan Dekok's) favourite text  
editor.
     And rewriting Window Writer from Owlware to use the high-speed Nitros9  
Graphic text screens (to show on screen bold, italics, etc.) would be  
great, too.
