Description:
AtariWriter is a 16 KB ROM cartridge word processing application released by Atari in 1983 for the Atari 8-bit series. It enables users to create and edit documents in a 40-column format. The software supports text entry, editing, file handling on disk or cassette, and printing to Atari-supported printers. Written by William Robinson (based on his earlier “Text Wizard” program), AtariWriter was designed to be efficient and easy to use across all models of the 8-bit family, including later XL/XE machines. The cartridge includes basic memory management and supports the Atari XEP‑80 80-column display via the AtariWriter 80 disk version, although the cartridge itself remains limited to 40 columns.
