Everything about Perfect Writer
Word processor computer program
Perfect Writer is a word processor computer program published by Perfect Software for CP/M. In 1984, Thorn EMI Computer Software acquired an exclusive marketing and distribution licence for Perfect Software's products, and the program was rewritten and released as Perfect II for IBM PC compatible computers. Written in C and famous for its stability, it is an enhanced version of MINCE, which itself is a version of Emacs for microcomputer platforms. Emacs itself is too large to fit within the 64 KB RAM limit of most microcomputers. Like MINCE, it includes a floppy disk based virtual memory system. Wikipedia →
