Word Perfect was probably the single dominant WP
package back then also.
Supplanting WordStar, though. And though there were many WS products -
WS2000, WS Express (known to Amstrad owners as Wordstar 1512), etc.,
the original WP was WordStar. WS 3 on the PC, later WS4 (which was
really NewStar, bought in & renamed:
http://www.wordstar.org/index.php/wordstar-history )
XyWrite, PC Write, VolksWriter etc. never achieved much currency in
Europe AFAIAA.
Xtree was also very common, for file management.
PC Tools or Norton Utilities.
Even on an XT, DR-DOS 3.41 was better than MS-DOS. :?)
