LightWayText Commentaryappleworks and lightwaytext - Version: 4.1.2, 12/13/2003 03:00AM PST

appleworks is a more serious word processor, but have many black holes that could make understable a lightwaytext choice. 1- appleworks is more expensive than lwt; 2- if you have to share files from different computer you need to have the same version of appleworks, else appleworks try to save in his format (this is a big troble if you have a old ppc classic computer and a new osx, or if you have to share windows file); 3- the rtf export/import of appleworks if real bad (the RTF of appleworks have not the accents compatible with the textedit osx version...); 4- appleworks macro are not working under macosx; 5- lightwaytext is really more stable that appleworks... and I can go on...

Sure I can say using lightwaytext on a old duo, a imac osx and a windows nt server, is a wonderful thing to open files from one computer to another, without any kind of conversion or loss of data... lightwaytext have a nice macro sistem too, and a very powerful SED script sistem.

And for 25$ you have a user licence to use for any kind of computer or OS... so I'm using 3 lightwaytext, in 3 different os, and I spend only 25$... good for a poor writer ;)

wrong with Appleworks, can anyone tell me? I didn't think LightWayText was very simple to use - not as simple of use as A.W., that is, and I thought it was a quite ugly interface... Oh, well, if some people don't have A.W. or don't want it, maybe it can be convenient after all...

quaintly amusing readme comes a seriously good word processor, ideal for bridging the gap between BBEdit and Indesign 2! Love the ability to customise its colour scheme....
