Unfortunately, Reggae creator Krashan left MorphOS some years back.

I didn't know (or I had forgotten, same thing to my perspective) that he had left. That is unfortunate to lose talented members of the MorphOS Dev. Team, and specially those who have created parts that make MorphOS more efficient.

The little bit I understand of reggae is it would help with memory usage as it's more efficient than datatypes. Other than that who knows.

I would think that Reggae being more efficient with memory usage also means that it would speed up the opening of files that it supports within Final Writer, and make the experience as a whole feel quicker and more responsive (but I could be inflating my expectations of what adding Reggae support would add to Final Writer, or just stating an obvious benefit).

Due to how efficient it is compared to more modern word processors. I don’t think you would notice it much on anything beyond the efika.

Just a couple of screenshots to show that progress is indeed still being made.

Will Final Writer be able to save documents as a PDF?

Will it allow printing by a user to a selectable "device", i.e. PAR: , USBPAR: ?

Ouch! That's a longer wait than I realised, as this thread started way back on 3-Oct-2012, so it's been underway for over 8 years already.

@ terminills - Are you realistically near a completion/release date for Final Writer v7 for AROS or any other OS, including MorphOS?

Yes, it will. RTF has been updated to the final spec as well. I have many future enhancements planned based on how quickly I can recover my costs.

Yes you can print to selectable devices and PDFDirect support has been started but it'll take a little bit before I would say that is feature complete.

Technically I've owned it since 2015. There has been many bug fixes due to old coding styles.

I would say there's a slim possibility of before the end of the year.

Are you meaning . . . the end of this year (2020) . . . or some other year?
And . . . is that for the AROS version, or another version, all versions or some other scenario, specifically?

Thanks for the info about printing to devices I asked about, and what sort of cost do you have in mind for it when you are ready for its full new release?

@ terminills - I suppose 1 answer to 3 questions has to be considered a better response than none.

Well, to be fair I'm not 100% sure on any dates, versions, etc yet.

@ terminills - Are you still sure it's going to be 2020 for the release of Final Writer 7 - "the resurrection"?
