[Coco] Window Writer for OS-9

[Bill Pierce]

Nick have fun setting up Window Writer. Probably the most bloated program for OS9 ever written. Once you figure out what all has to be merged with runb, where all the files go, and possibly even get it to run, you're out of memory.
I tried it once as the ads I saw looked good. I finally got it to run and the buffer was too small for anything serious due to the program taking up all the room. That's the way it goes with Basic09.... They should've used C or asm and virtual memory for buffers and it would've been half the size it is... and faster. I expected better from OwlWare.

I agree.

I will try to configure it to run (apparently requires setting up).

I was just curious because it uses windows and a GUI under OS-9. Just 
wondering what it was like.

I've also tried TeleWriter 128 (CoCo3 version). I had never used it 
before. I was a VIP Writer guy.

It's actually very good.
