Now that is a Coco word processor that I've always wanted to get but have
never been able to obtain a copy. The ads in Rainbow for it made it seem
really cool. Anyone know where I can get one?

Currently my favorite one is of course Ved. I know it's quite popular
nowadays among us all. Easy to use, fully featured, small, and fast. I
use it for everything: editing text files, even aif files.
