C128 80 columns wordprocessor...
Hi there,
Does anyone know of a wordprocessor/texteditor for the c128 that made use of the 80 columns mode and/or extended memory?
If so, which, who, where? |

Quoting Angel of DeathHi there,
Does anyone know of a wordprocessor/texteditor for the c128 that made use of the 80 columns mode and/or extended memory?
If so, which, who, where? For the C128 there's a whole world of CP/M software available. Grab wordstar (word processor) and zde (text editor) from here. Mind you, you will need to run CP/M on your C128.

not sure cp/m is a good advice (but well he is not after it to use:) it worths to note that c128's z80 is underclocked, I'd rather try 'native' 6510 programs. |

@Mr.Ammo: Not going for CP/M at first. I want to keep the files compatible with the rest of my HW.
@Oswald: Will check out...
Thanks guys! |

Not really a word processor but if I remember correctly Merlin 128 editor was running in 80 column mode. |

If it's as good as the original, I'd recommend SpeedScript 128. |

basically any 128 text editor is going to support 80col and use all the memory it can, jane 128, GEOS 128 etc.
CP/M is a bad choice as CP/M is designed for up to 64K devices, so I would expect it to need 128 elusive features to make use of the extra 64K. I think you need MP/M before you can get over 64K per program. |

I used to use Star Texter 128 and quite liked to work with it. It's not WYSIWYG, but once you get used to set control characters, it is fast and stable. |
