The Last Word 3.2

The Last Word is one of the most feature-rich word processors ever written for the Atari 8-bit. This award winning program includes many of the innovative tools found in programs like TextPro and The 1st XLent Word Processor, and version 3 of the program sees the introduction of a software driven 80 column display. LW 3.2 supercedes the previously released 3.1, which should be abandoned in favour of the new version.

The Last Word 3.1 won the "Application of the year 2009" award, voted for by members of the ABBUC forum.

Here are a few of the comments which have been made about The Last Word:

  • "Your word processor is the finest one ever seen on A8 machines."
  • "Awesome work!"
  • "A monumental accomplishment."
  • "An amazing piece of software."
  • "This is fantastic. Voted 'Best software of the Year!' by me."
