rpiguy9907 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Hi all, I collect vintage word processors and have over 40 for the Commodore and I am starting to collect them for the Apple //. I have a had a harder time getting a good list together of word processors for the Apple // than I did for the Commodore. Can you tell me what I am missing on this list? What forgotten gems are out there? I generated this list looking through InCider magazine 1983-1986. Apple Writer AppleWorks* Mouse Write* PFS Write* Master Write* Fleet System Vizawrite Word Perfect Write Away Pen Pal Format Letter Perfect Screenwriter Cut and Paste Pie Writer Better Working Word Processor Brown Bag Bank Street Writer* Sierra Homeword* * indicates that I own a copy of this word processor for the Apple // Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) Magic Window I & II And then all the ones for the z-80 CP/M card. And the one in ProTerm comm software - its more a text editor like NotePad, but I wrote several books back in the day using it. There's more, but my head hurts from the RetroVGS thread.

The Usotsuki Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Descendents of AppleWriter are FreeWriter and FrEdWriter, but they're more text editors than anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
