Protext

Revision as of 01:24, 24 January 2011 by Cpcmaniaco (Talk | contribs) (→‎Manual)

Protext is one of the most successful British word processor programs, developed by Peterborough-based Arnor Ltd between 1985 and 1995.

Protext has sold over 30,000 copies.

Original written for the Amstrad CPC464, Protext was subsequently released for the Amstrad PCW8256, the PC, the Atari ST, Commodore Amiga and the Acorn Archimedes.

When Arnor closed in 1995 it seemed that Protext had become another British casualty of the fast-evolving world of computers.

WACCO continue with the sells.

But a group of Protext users with professional experience from other areas of business, were not prepared to let it go.

They formed a partnership called Protext Software with the copyright owners and original programmers and have relaunched the program in an new version (v6.7) for the PC.
