It was written by John Draper's Cap ' n Software, which also produced a version of Forth, which EasyWriter was developed in.

This job was at Receiving Studios, a small band practice studio, and while there he had access to a computer, where he coded EasyWriter.

He wrote EasyWriter, the first word processor.

Draper wrote EasyWriter, the first word processor for the Apple II, in 1978.

Draper later ported EasyWriter to the IBM PC, beating Bill Gates on the bid for the IBM contract.

Mr. Draper developed EasyWriter while serving nights in the Alameda County Jail under a work furlough program.

* John Draper's " The Creation of EasyWriter " on his own site.

Draper's personal website furnishes a more detailed version of the coding of EasyWriter.

Draper's company, Capn ' Software, posted less than $ 1 million revenue over six years, and he subsequently sued his software's distributor, Bill Baker, over an unauthorized version of EasyWriter that Baker released without Draper's permission – they settled out of court.

How lightly her `` eventshah-leh '' passed into the crannies where I was storing dialect material for some vaguely dreamed opus, and how the word would echo.

'' ( The Grafin was partial to the word shall.

There was no doubt that Herr Schaffner meant every word of what he said.

Hot, that was the word, hot!!

Next day, word came that Miriam was not going through with the divorce ; ;

I fled, however, not from what might have been the natural fear of being unable to disguise from you that the things about my bridegroom -- in the sense you meant the word `` things '' -- which you had been galvanizing yourself to tell me as a painful part of your maternal duty were things which I had already insisted upon finding out for myself ( despite, I may now say, the unspeakable awkwardness of making the discovery on principle, yes, on principle, and in cold blood ) because I was resolved, as a modern woman, not to be a mollycoddle waiting for Life but to seize Life by the throat.

To you, for instance, the word innocence, in this connotation, probably retained its Biblical, or should I say technical sense, and therefore I suppose I must make myself quite clear by saying that I lost -- or rather handed over -- what you would have considered to be my innocence two weeks before I was legally entitled, and in fact by oath required, to hand it over along with what other goods and bads I had.

There was one particular word that troubled his conscience.

This was the Greek word most often translated as `` baptism ''.

Mr. Hearst's telegraphic code word for Victor Watson was `` fatboy ''.

That word was withheld when the need of it seemed the measure of his despair.

A little boy came to give the President his personal condolences, and the President gave word that any little boy who wanted to see him was to be shown in.

The word was that this too was part of an economy move on his part.

The use of map coordinates was begun when the senior officers began to select tactical points by designating a spot as `` near the letter o in the word mountain ''.

That she was affected by his protestations seems obvious, but since she was evidently a sensible young woman -- as well as an outgoing and sympathetic type -- it would seem that for her the word friendship had a far less intense emotional significance than that which Thompson gave it.

By this time word had got around that an American doctor was on the premises.

If Robinson was a liar and a slanderer, he was also a very canny gentleman, for nothing that Pike could do would pry so much as a single word out of him.

Promptly their livestock was taken and according to Gorton the soldiers were ordered to knock down anyone who should utter a word of insolence, and run through anyone who might step out of line.

Therefore, what we must prove or disprove is that there were Saxons, in the broad sense in which we must construe the word, in the area of the Saxon Shore at the time it was called the Saxon Shore.

Fosdick insisted that a strong word was needed from Washington, and it was immediately forthcoming.

It may be thought unfortunate that he was called on entirely by accident to perform, if again we may trust the opening of the oratio, for it marks the beginning for us of his use of his peculiar form of witty word play that even in this Latin banter has in it the unmistakable element of viciousness and an almost sadistic delight in verbally tormenting an adversary.

The first used the same graphics processor as the BBC Micro in mode 7 — the SAA5050 — but used software to ensure that it was fed with the correct graphics data.

AIX was the first operating system to utilize journaling file systems, and IBM has continuously enhanced the software with features like processor, disk and network virtualization, dynamic hardware resource allocation ( including fractional processor units ), and reliability engineering ported from its mainframe designs.

Finally a replacement for the aging Z80 processor was being developed in the form of an Intel 8086 board, and additional 512K 16 bit memory boards.

AbiWord had grammar checking before any other open source word processor, although a grammar checker was later added to OpenOffice. org.

Powering the system was an Atari SALLY 6502 ( Atari's slightly custom 6502, sometimes described as a " 6502C ") processor running at 1. 79 MHz, similar to the processor found in home computers ( Atari 8-bit, Apple II, Commodore 64 ) and other consoles ( Atari 5200 and Nintendo Entertainment System ).

The original Athlon ( now called Athlon Classic ) was the first seventh-generation x86 processor and, in a first, retained the initial performance lead it had over Intel's competing processors for a significant period of time.

Athlon was the first x86 processor with a 128 kB split level 1 cache ; a 2-way associative, later 16-way, cache separated into 2 × 64 kB for data and instructions ( Harvard architecture ).

This high-speed SDRAM cache was run at a divisor of the processor clock and was accessed via its own 64-bit bus, known as a " back-side bus " allowing the processor to both service system front side bus requests ( the rest of the system ) and cache accesses simultaneously verses the traditional approach of pushing everything through the front-side bus.

Eventually a product called the " Goldfingers device " was created that could unlock the CPU, named after the gold connector pads on the processor board that it attached to.

The eventual joint company effort, named Borland Office for Windows ( a combination of the WordPerfect word processor, Quattro Pro spreadsheet and Paradox database ) was introduced at the 1993 Comdex computer show.

The system, which was called George, with an application programmed in JOVIAL, was intended to support some 4000 terminals, but even after a fourth processor was added it couldn't handle the workload.

The first ( retroactively ) RISC-labeled processor ( IBM 801-IBMs Watson Research Center, mid-1970s ) was a tightly pipelined simple machine originally intended to be used as an internal microcode kernel, or engine, in CISC designs, but also became the processor that introduced the RISC idea to a somewhat larger public.

Reasons for this transition was productive uses for such monitors, i. e. besides widescreen computer game play and movie viewing, are the word processor display of two standard letter pages side by side, as well as CAD displays of large-size drawings and CAD application menus at the same time.

This was a version of Windows 2. 1 adapted for the 80386 processor.

DEC's last major attempt to find a space in the rapidly changing market was the DEC Alpha 64-bit RISC processor architecture.

Although the Alpha processor family met both of these goals, and, for most of its lifetime, was the fastest processor family on the market, it did little to affect the bottom line or repair the company's status.
