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 [[CPC464CPC]]464, 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. 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.
