need free word processor for os9

I'm in desperate need for a word processor for my iBook that runs os9. I don't want to upgrade to osX. Are there any decent word processing programs that are free that I can simply download? Thanx...

I imagine SimpleText is too simple?

I might be able to find an old Office 98 for you, since I am using Office X now and no longer need it.

Upgrade to a pc with windows and get a free copy of Notepad.exe. Act now and we'll throw in a copy of Wordpad.exe!

To tell you the truth, I'm quite pleased with my iBook. It does what I need it to to do and rather well. I do have a PC with windows xp, but I'm using a laptop and need to be able to do word processing on the go.


Thank you eSD for the word processor....much thanks to you
