Just got the new (July 2006) Mac Addict and there, contained in an
article reviewing 13 affordable Microsoft Word alternatives, is a very
positive review of Papyrus, on page 29. They rated it the Best
Non-M$ Word processing program you can get for your Mac. They
even mention its tiny 3.1MB executable size, praising its efficient
coding! Take that M$ Word! (word is like what, 600MB or more?!)

Anyhow, this is a great bit of advertising for a piece of software you
can get for MorphOS. So this means that.. MorphOS has a word
processor that is very much able to take on Word in the real world

Exsept that, as far as I can tell, development has ceased on the MOS
version, is this true? I've heard a few people kvetching about the
buggy version they paid for, was it ever completed/bug fixed?

When it is, I will buy it for sure on my MorphOS box.

@ Tronman

Hopefully development wasn't stopped, as the buggy version we bought isn't really usable :(((

AFAIK Papyrus would be the only "integrated software" (word processor, spread sheet and db) we would have for MorphOS and such is very much needed.

Hi,

Papyrus works OK but slow, because it's a kind of emulation.
I've converted a text with image to HTML format, also imported
a word document ! RTF documents goes well too. It has a huge
configuration window. I've not tried printing with. But all by all,
i'am happy with Papyrus.
