Electric Pencil PC
Electric Pencil, which first appeared in 1976 for the MITS Altiar, is the first word processor for home/micro computer systems. It was ported to many other systems, including the SOL-20, NothStar Horizon, and TRS-80. Eventually an enhanced/re-written version was created for the IBM PC.
It had the rudimentary features of a word processor and remained relatively primitive throughout its life. The IBM PC version makes use of some IBM PC specific abilities.
Wanted: Other ports.
