Wordstar before then. It's a real shame that it is still legally encumbered, I'd love to use it on a modern system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wordstar

I actually found the other day I have a ROM for Wordwise+, the first word processor I ever used, for the BBC Micro. I might see if I can get away with doing some "real work" in it :-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wordwise

Had a Microsoft Z-80 card in my Apple ][ just to run CP/M just to run Wordstar. Once AppleWorks came out, never booted to CP/M again. Also, ImageWriter and Epson MX100. :-)
