Hi,

Rashumon was probably the first and only multilingual graphic word processor for the Amiga.

I have written a post about how it was developed back in 1989.

For several years there is a Wikipedia page about Rashumon.

There is now a debate whether to keep or delete this article.
If you have an opinion about that matter, Please express it in this page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Rashumon

If you have more reliable sources such as magazine reviews, etc. please send them to me.

Wikipedia page about an Amiga word processor (Rashumon)

Hi,

Rashumon was probably the first and only multilingual graphic word processor for the Amiga. It was used mainly by people who needed to use multiple languages. There is a working version at Aminet, and even though it was a commercial product, I recently published that I will give the source code to anyone who will be interesting in working on a new version.

I have written a post about how it was developed back in 1989 in my blog here.

For several years there is a Wikipedia page about Rashumon.

There is now a debate whether to keep or delete this article.
I was asked (and did my best) to locate reliable sources about that product. I scanned and downloaded articles and news items from Amiga World, Amazing Computing, Amiga User International (UK) and even found articles published in Denmark, Germany, Israel, Italy and the UK. I placed the scans here.

If you have an opinion about that matter, Please express it in this page.
(Apparently new Wikipedia members can't vote)

If you have more reliable sources such as magazine reviews, etc. please send them to me.

Thanks,

Michael Haephrati
