Vic20 Word Prosessing cartridges

Post by Mikam73 »

I have Vic20 Word Prosessing cartridges:

Write Now and Quick Brown Fox. Those two are boxed.

I wonder if others have them and how rare those are ?

There is also Wordcraft 20 and HES Writer

These 4 carts are very rare, although QBF may be easier to find as it was a big seller

Not me. I once used Text 64 (on the C64 then), and actually printed some school essay, but frankly I am happy to have better options these days. Although it has some nice functions and word wraps where you want it to, I prefer a plain text editor over that generation of word processors.

I tried out QBF this weekend.

Worked really well, especially in 40 column mode, and i didn't find the commands too complicated.

worked fine on my printer at first, then i turned off everything, then now all i get is gobbley gook on the paper :(

argh, only thought this stuff happened with MS based pc's
