Nice to know, those recollections are most valuable for my research.
Thanks for sharing.

I'll try to test all those tree word processors in a Amstrad CPC 6128
emulator, and see which one I like best (I've already found DSK images
online for them).

I also intend to test VDE, and WordStar (or NewStar). I've found online
two WordStar 3.0 editions supposedly for the Amstrad CPC, one in Spanish
and another in German. Looks like I have nerdy stuff ahead of me,
good times!
