PC-Write Standard Level v2.00 
  
For many years PC-Write has held a place of honor among shareware word
processors.  The newest addition to the Quicksoft family, PC-Write Standard
Level, sports a refreshing new look, while retaining most of the features
that have made PC-Write outstanding. The sophistication, feature richness,
and overall slickness of this new offering are worth getting excited about!

Most notable about Standard Level are its configurability and its pull-down
menu system, which set it apart from earlier versions of PC-Write.  Three
levels of feature content are available, known as "Core", "Basic", and
"Standard Level", permitting a high degree of customization based upon the
user's needs and expertise.  Within each level, features may be added and
deleted to produce precisely the mix of features the user wants. In
addition, support is provided for a TREMENDOUS variety of printers.
Another nice configuration feature is a very flexible selection of screen
colors.  Conversion between several word processing formats is also
available.
        
While older versions of PC-Write presented an F-key menu listing at the top
of the screen, PC-Write Standard Level has easy-to-use pull-down menus in
addition to the old-style menu bar.  Functions may still be accessed via
the F-keys, for those who prefer to work that way.  The "Adapt" menu
selection permits almost complete reconfiguration without leaving the
program. A large spell-checking dictionary is available, and the registered
version comes with a thesaurus.
       
In short, PC-Write Standard Level has about everything a user could want
except column support and advanced mail merge. Storage requirements are a
mere 500 k, less dictionary, and the main executable is just under 150 k.
For the person with serious word processing needs, PC-Write Standard Level
deserves serious attention.
