Okay, I decided to be a geek and get the promised grab anyway. My v6.1
program disk was corrupted (go figure), but I found an old copy of ProText 4.3.
The resulting image is below, if someone wants to grab it and stick it on the
site somewhere, feel free. Later versions of ProText improved the display, so
this may not be an accurate rendition. I'm not even sure if Joe used the Amiga
version for his work, but it certainly shows the limitations of many of the
word processors of the late 80s.

Note the hand-crafted paragraph header indicating the left and right margin,
along with the position of the section number. Italic and bold is displayed
correctly, but the section number is bounded by 'd' which would indicate double
height when printed.
Regards,
Iain.

so have any über-nerds out there managed to actually get a copy
of Protext running, to see what the files really looked like?
the Protext site http://home.btconnect.com/tigerteam/protext/
wants £50 for a copy that'll run on Windows XP in a DOS box!
Anyone out there got a Amstrad emulator software with Protext on it...? :)
