WriteNow was originally owned by NeXT and published by the T/Maker Company. There is a very nice review of WriteNow 4.0 (the last and more complete version) on the 5 August 1994 Issue of MacUser UK, written by Clive Grace. The following is a series of highlights I chose to illustrate what’s good (and what could be improved) about WriteNow. The review starts with one of the most important things about WriteNow, compared with other applications of its kind: MS POWERMAIL COMPLAINTS SERIES WriteNow is carving a niche for itself among users who don’t want the memory overhead that comes with a heavyweight word processor. Microsoft Word, for example, takes in excess of 6.5 MB of your hard disk and, where possible, occupies 2 MB RAM, and few users fully utilise the flexibility and programmability of a package like Nisus either. On import and export formats and features: Stiffer competition comes from cheaper, leaner integrated packages such as Microsoft Works and ClarisWorks which cost just under £100, and so approach WriteNow’s territory, which sells on the fact that it has been written for speed and compactness without sacrificing features. WriteNow 4.0 imports and exports other word processing file formats and is compatible with Microsoft Word, and Windows Write and Works files. It will also read MacWrite II, PageMaker and QuarkXPress files, but sadly, only the DOS version of WordPerfect is supported.
