Fleet System 4 is the flagship of Professional Software's Commodore wordprocessors, aimed specifically at the C-128 user with an 80-column monitor. Jacques Lebrun's latest epic is a four-part, full-featured wordprocessor, spelling checker, thesaurus, and filer that allows you to create, edit, and rearrange text and data with ease. The integrated package also includes mail merge for producing personalized form letters and mailings, and a math capability for manipulation of columns of numbers.
Professional furnishes the package on three disks, with the wordprocessor (which, surprisingly, doesn't autoboot) and dictionary disks facing each other on a 'flippy'; the thesaurus and filer are on separate disks. Documentation consists of separate manuals for the wordprocessor (136 pages) and the filer (39 pages); they're both well written and indexed, though without command summary cards. A few short tutorials are included.
