[Coco] Window Writer for OS-9

[nickma2 at optusnet.com.au]

Ok. Thanks. Another one for the trash by the sounds of it.   :(

It's a pity. Applications for OS-9 seem to fall into the... Too slow,
too primitive or too difficult to install and run. Sometimes all of
these at once.

Shame. OS-9 is definately a powerfull OS. I do honestly believe this.
It just falls over as far as quality applications and ease of use is
concerned.

 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.
