Don't buy DisplayWrite for the IBM PC.  The IBM takes forever to boot up and
the DisplayWrite takes much longer in moving from one mode to another.  If you
are into textfile exhanges with other processors, the Display write print file
requires extremely long time to convert from its normal file format.  The resulting
file still has some printer-control characters which one almost has to use 
Wordstar to get rid of.
