  HPLX.NET Reviews DisplayWrite 4 Version 2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
DisplayWrite was an underrated word processor from IBM.
All in all, DisplayWrite 4 Version 2 seems to be a highly advanced "classic" wordprocessor.
Note that, from my experience, DisplayWrite 4 Version 1 doesn't run on the palmtop at all, and in fact hates pretty much all non-IBM systems, so watch the version number (it's clearly marked) if you do find a copy.

 IBM DisplayWrite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
DisplayWrite was a word processor software application that IBM developed and marketed for its line of IBM PCs.
Its document files used the RFT (revisable format text) or DCA (document content architecture) filename extension, both of which were standards on IBM mainframe computers.
DisplayWrite's feature set was based on the IBM Displaywriter System, a dedicated microcomputer-based word processing machine.

 DisplayWrite
The DisplayWriter was a dedicated word processing machine released by IBM in 1980.
When PCs appeared, DisplayWrite, a DisplayWriter emulator, was sold to run on them.
Documents were stored on the usual 5-1/4 inch floppies with an RFT (revisable format text) or DCA (document content architecture) file extension.

 Emulation system for automatically modifying I/O translation tables in programs designed to run on different types of ...
The previous method used by IBM for the DisplayWrite 2 program to support all of the various countries, required modifications to the program and extensive testing to make sure that the programs were correctly modified to properly operate on the different hardware.
An application program such as the IBM DisplayWrite 3 word processing program, may also be loaded into the memory 6 to provide instructions to the microprocessor 1 to enable a comprehensive set of word processing tasks to be performed by the personal computer system shown in FIG.
The MLG data of the document currently being edited is then passed to the display output processor 26 to generate the appropriate information to be sent to the display device 28 to, thereby, reflect to the operator the incorporation of the code most recently keyed at the keyboard 21.

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
From my calls, I gather the staff is small enough that you may actually be able to talk with someone who wrote the source code (unlike Displaywrite, for which I called no fewer than six states in search of answers).
There is also a function in the file manager to retrieve files from a bashed diskette, a welcome addition no other program seems even to rec- ognize as necessary.
Unlike Displaywrite, the TechWriter source diskette has a counter which will al- low you to make up to five copies of the program, and you can "uninstall" a copy of the program code, deleting it and moving the counter back.

 IBM Main Page
The product areas identified as having the greatest opportunity for IBM were word processing (DisplayWrite installed base), desktop publishing (Interleaf relationship), graphics (presentation graphics and multimedia), data base, and the emerging personal information manager category.
The DisplayWrite product for years had been marketed very little through distribution and relied on the IBM direct sales force for its sales volumes.
With the impending release of DW5 and DW5/Composer, which were uncompetitive with the market leaders, a marketing plan was needed to successfully introduce the product and sustain previous years sales volumes while waiting for a newly acquired code base to be finished.

 ALMOST PERFECT by W. E. Peterson
It was a dinosaur, unwilling to adapt to the new environment, and all that was left for it to do was survive until its money ran out.
In spite of the fact that Displaywrite was usually found to be an inferior product by the press and by their customers, IBM continued to sell a lot of software.
IBM shuffled its programmers in and out of large programming teams and evaluated team performance on the basis of the quantity of lines of code written rather than the quality of the code.

 Merge With File Function for Different File Formats
A method is described which permits the merge with file function of DisplayWrite 3 to merge a file with a shell document, even when the file is in a different format.
The method allows the merge with file function of DisplayWrite 3 to operate with the following six different file formats: - DIF* - SYLK** - dBASE II*** - PDS**** - BASIC sequential - Fixed length In accordance with this method, the merge with file function actually only supports the fixed length file format DIRECTLY.
Rather than requiring the operator to perform a conversion using a separate utility, DisplayWrite 3 automatically converts the file without the operator's knowledge.

I remember spending a Saturday swotting up on DisplayWrite just so I could get a job that I ended up hating and leaving after 3 months.
And one of the reasons for hating the job so much was that bloody DisplayWrite.
There’s not much information on DisplayWrite about, and I think this is because everyone who uses just doesn’t want to talk about it.

It can be given the name of a specific file or can be asked to display the comments for a certain number of files, or all of the DisplayWrite files in the directory.
Using these two options together means it is possible to search an entire disk for a Displaywrite document file with a particular fragment of text in its comment.

DisplayWrite 5 Composer, previously available only for OS/2, enables MS-DOS users to create documents incorporating text, fonts and graphics.
DisplayWrite 5 Composer will be available in the US within a week, and will ship with DisplayWrite 5 included for $600, and licensed users of DisplayWrite 5 can add DisplayWrite Composer for $125.
