Since there seems to be a lot of interest in it, here is the quote I was
referring about Microsoft Word on the ST. It's from InformationWEEK,
7/14/86, page 41, in their INDUSTRY BRIEFS section.
Microsoft Modifies Microsoft Word for Atari's PCs
Users of Atari Corp.'s 520ST and 1040ST personal computers now have
a word processing program written just for them. Microsoft, of Bellevue,
Wash., has modified its Macintosh-version of the Microsoft Word program
for the Atari PCs. The new version is called Microsoft Write. In addition,
the agreement between the two firms gives Atari, which is based in
Sunnyvale, Calif., worldwide distribution rights to the program.
The other reference to this was in Computerworld, 7/14 issue. It was
buried at the end of an article on Microsoft Windows on the IBM PC, and
gave the same information.
