Adventures in WordPerfect
I still have old college papers produced on a C64 (actually a 128 in C64 mode) using Word Writer 6 (or 5, I forget) and an MPS1200 -- actually a really nice rebadged letter quality high pin dot matrix. It really worked nice and was half the weight of my old DPS 1101 daisy wheel monster. Of course, I think like everyone I also did plenty in years prior using Speedscript after typing the damn thing in myownself!

I purchased several copies of Compute, and Compute's Gazette, but I wasn't what one would call diligent about it, and didn't subscribe. I never managed to get one of the issues that had a version of SpeedScript in it.

Most if not all of them are available via archive.org today... https://archive.org/details/compute-gazette
That page ostensibly includes a link to D64 disk images as well.

Cool. Noted for future use. ?
I seem to recall that someone in this community was working on a port of SpeedScript to the X16.
