The Last Word 3.1
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 3.1 supercedes the previously released 3.0, which should be abandoned in favour of the new version.
Here are a few of the comments which have been made about The Last Word:
