I think it's called Pro-Write, not Writer, but anyway - I have seen
the program demonstrated at the World of Commodore show last (Dec 4-7).

The demonstrator announced that the program had a number of bugs at this
stage and quite a few features were not implemented or incomplete.

He also announced the program would probably not be available until March
(1987 I presume).

The program was impressive, it does indeed allow multiple fonts, colored
text even (which doesn't seem that useful to me), on screen headers and
footers, in a WYSIWYG package.  It was SLLLOOOOWWWWW though, in scrolling,
screen updates, TYPING even.  I am TRYING to be objective although its not
that easy since I am writing a word processor also and am aware of the
problems they're running into.

Overall, it looks promising, although quite a way from release.
