CA-Textor
Appearance
A word processor for OS/2 and Microsoft Windows originally published by Computer Associates in 1991 as a Windows app and updated in 1992 with an OS/2 version, and it replaced the DOS based EasyWriter word processing program that the company had been selling for a few years. The software was actually not developed by CA itself, but rather by a French company and was a port of a DOS word processor called Textor that had been the second best selling WP software in France after WordStar for years, and that explains why the first and only English release of the program called "Version 6".
