@withaveeay Galaxy was indeed fast, especially on my '386 at the time. I don't think you can change the key bindings though - I didn't see an option for that in the menus.

@bytex64 Very cool! I'd love to keep experimenting with Galaxy, but it looks like it has a limiter after X number of runs, or Y number of days (seems like 1 month).

I suppose I could put it on a separate VM disk image and just keep refreshing the image. 🤔

@drwho I ran WordPerfect until it was time to upgrade .. $300 (student edition) was too much for me 🤑 but $99 for Galaxy was do-able. 😃

@dellagustin Good catch - fixed!! 👍

Short version: It was a great alternative to WordPerfect. but it doesn't show page breaks or full justification.

Did anyone else use Galaxy, the shareware DOS word processor?

Here's my look back:

The next FreeDOS virtual get-together will be Sunday, August 27 at 11am US/Central.

This meeting will focus on technical items - debugging, etc.

I'll share the meeting URL here shortly before the meeting starts. As usual, we'll use BlueJeans.
