FA: Final Writer - rare version

[motrucker]

I am selling my copy of Softwood Inc.'s Final Writer for Windows 95. It may work with Windows 98, but nothing newer.

This is an excellent word processor, and very easy to use (good thing - I've lost the manual) Starting price is cheap...

Hmm, I've got a copy of that somewhere. Made it easy to move documents between the Miggy and a pc. Must sort out what else I have in the loft  :elvis:

It is a good program.
Do you (or any one?) remember if this software sold retail, or was it just offered to Final Writer Amiga users by Softwood.

I don't think it ever was offered on its own.  I own a copy of the Windows version and, from what I remember, it came it came with FinalWriter 97 when I bought it.  It was actually quite a nice program.  It has the same GUI layout as the Amiga version and most of the functionality. Of course, it had no AREXX support and I don't think it supported FinalWriter's unique textbox functionality but it actually had better font support.  Also, you could choose to save you docs as either an "Amiga" FinalWriter file or a "Windows" FinalWriter file.  I'm not sure the rational behind this as FinalWriter97 couldn't open the "Windows" FinalWriter file.

Before laptops were fast enough to run WinUAE, Windows FinalWriter was a great way to work on your Amiga docs on the go.
