I think I owned WordTalk at one time. It actually was from Computer Aids 
Corporation, the predecessor of GW Micro. I doubt that I would be able to 
find the 5.25-inch floppy that it was on. In that era I was using PC-Write, 
then later switched to WordPerfect 4.2. I suppose you are looking for 
WordTalk because it wrote strategic parts of its output through the BIOS 
rather than direct screen writes.
The simple spreadsheet that went along with this was called Rap Sheet. But 
by the time it came out, I was already using Screen-Talk Pro (with Prokey 
macros) to work with AsEasyAs 1-2-3.
Definitely a trip down memory lane, where less than 640K was  all you 
needed!

Years ago GW Micro had a prodos program called Word Talk.  Near the end of 
its
life they also came out with a version of it that ran on the pc.  I'm 
looking
for a copy of the pc version of the program.  Anyone by any chance either 
got it
or know where I might find it?

Thanks.

Tom
