Lines: 20 We are attempting to set up some office work stations based around the IBM PC. I've got a couple of issues where some advice would be helpful: 1) I'm looking for a PC word processing program. So far, of the ones I've tried, Wordstar and MultiMate look most interesting. Of course, each has its own drawbacks and limitations. Anybody have any recommendations on word processing programs to look into--or even ones not to bother looking into? 2) We also want to tie the PC's together to do email, file sharing, mini/mainframe communications, etc. Has anybody dealt with any of the commercially available PC networks? I'd be interested in your experiences with them. Thanks, Chip Rosenthal intelca!t4test!chip
