The folks at AtariArchives.org are proud to announce that the full text and
source code from the book SpeedScript ­ The Word Processor for Atari Computers
is now available online.

Published in 1985, the book includes the complete, commented assembly language
source code for the popular Atari word processor, as well as instructions for
using the program. You can also download the source (ready to assemble in
Mac/65) and ready-to-run binary for use on your Atari or an emulator.

You can read the book and download the program from
http://www.atariarchives.org/speedscript/

AtariArchives.org is always looking for volunteers. If you would like to help
make classic computing books available online, contact us at

Speedscript was available for the C64 also, and it would *not*
surprise me if it was available for the Apple II and other 6502
computers. Back in the 1980's, I typed in Speedscript for the C64
in *hex*.
