I think it's safe to post... Digita does not, in fact, still sell any of their Amiga stuff (Their website doesn't even mention it).

6.0E uploaded to the zone !

" COPY PROTECTION

When the program is first started, it asks for the registration number. "

Wich seemed to work great with my social security number instead . Should be able to write anything in this uploaded version !

My copy worked with a simple "123456789"... Still, I uninstalled it when I found out how crappy its PostScript support is...

Why would you want to put yourself through the pain of word processing on an Amiga??

I actually LIKE Final Writer. It has good support for structured editing, complex document creation and other cool stuff. Except for its pitifully poor support for non-native formats does everything you could ever want (and then some)

I can't understand why ANYONE would want to put up with Wordworth, though. :P

I had a specific wordworth document that I needed to open.....
Also I was surprised to find WW is more responsive than FW

Because you have not uploaded Final Writer to the zone yet, when you do I might replace WordWorth !

As promised, Final Writer (version 5) is in the zone. Be sure to get both parts or else you won't have all the disks.

Let us know how you think it compares with Wordworth!

Been using FW for ages - wrote my degree thesis on it. (If you want to know about channel electron multipliers, let me know)

It still does things that Word won't - indexing, contents, not being stupid about numbering ...

And AREXX! Need I say more?

I have tried it now.

Pros:
+ Slightly easier to place an imgage around a piece of text and make the text go around the imgage
+ Very fast startup & ending time compared to WordWorth

Cons:
- Somewhat more messy and difficult to find things than WordWorth

Seems to be a great word processor. I have only just tested it for less than 5 minutes, but I already like what I see . Thanks for uploading it to the zone !
