Streck Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 This was the very first word processor for the Apple II, written by none other than John "Captain Crunch" Draper. http://www.webcrunchers.com/stories/easywriter.html You'd think something like this would have already been archived, but surprisingly, it hasn't been! So I was wondering if any of you fine folks might have it in your possession and would be willing to image it, or have it imaged. From what I've been able to determine, it came on a 13-sector disk, and may have included some kind of copy protection - but these are solvable problems. (The recent Microzine effort has renewed my drive to image certain titles that have long eluded me.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to Herr Backenköhler and Monsieur Vignau from comp.sys.apple2 for, respectively, supplying the original disks and cracking/imaging them. Another important piece of Apple II history is preserved.
