NBI Legend 1.x

Legend, from NBI, is a document processing program for Microsoft Windows 2.x. It primarily acts as a desktop publishing program, enabling users to lay out frames or embed graphics, but is can also act as a word processor.

NBI Legend eventually became "NBI Legacy", and then was purchased by WordStar International where it became WordStar for Windows.

NBI Legend was one of the early word processor for Microsoft Windows. Allegedly Palantir WinText was the first in 1987, and Samna AMI came shortly after in 1988, Microsoft Word 1.0 for Windows was not released until November 1989.
