Word Processors
Are there any C64 word processors or notepad type applications that don't save in clear text? |

Eve 1.01 (dutch) and Minioffice II (english) come to mind.
There should be dozens more to find I think, but I don't think you will find them here on CSDb. |

So what is "clear text"? ASCII? ANSI? PETSCII? Screencode? Vectorized print? Word documents? |

Doesn't he mean a blank document every time the program's loaded up, i.e. load up the last saved document automatically? |

I was thinking he maybe meant 'plain text' ( .txt ) but I wasn't sure, hence I asked.
Also, I second Vai.

i think he means when he has saved his work it seems to be saving in an invisible text mode that is unreadable when he loads it back up
not that i have any idea why it would be doing that

I used one of those things quite a lot back in the days to write my swapletters, something with a 80 characters column mode of which I ripped the charset for a demo of mine.
But being the old man that I am, I can't remember the name of it anymore. Something with Task? |

Quite a nice text converter is that tool: http://noname.c64.org/csdb/release/?id=37290. You could also convert to PC txt-format. |

Packed with many functions,
KWIK Write is a great word processor
it supports 80 columns
In 80s 90s i used it for writing ASM programs
Initial post asked for storing in non-plain text,
but it does not that. it stores clean SEQ or PRG files. |

Uhm.. actually it supports 132 columns.. but well, still only 40 chars visible ;-)
oh, and it stores in SEQ, PRG or USR and supports custom charsets... but no meta/markup stuff.. plain old clear-text.. whatever the hell that is ,-)

mini office 2 was also seq files.
radiantx.. it's all about open office on the pc =) can't get a decent printer to work with c64 , dot matrix with the mps803/801 or whatever it is , don't cut it ;-)
cbm ascii / pc ascii is just +40 / -40 or something, can't remember, so long since I used it. TMR was here, and linking lethargy etc, and we had both had TIB drives which would read pc format, so was all of 5 minutes to write a convert tool. Although many have coded things that do the conversion.. kermit terminal comes to mind, burg did that if I remember right? I used to use it to connect to uni's unix from home and people there didn't believe me.hehe
Kermit-Terminal
I wonder if people spell check their scrollers now, hehe.
