wordstar released in '78 and was insanely popular until the 90s when ms-word mostly took over.

Also WordPerfect for DOS! We had an old XT that was "my" computer, and I did a lot of homework on it. Pretty sure it was WP5.1, which would have come out in '89, which matches the timeline pretty well (I think we got that computer around '92 or so).

And these days no one would have the slightest clue how to use it if they could even find it.

And Xywrite in between. It was great (and still is).
