What is WriteNow?

WriteNow is a powerful but minimal word processor developped for the original Macintosh launch in January 1984 but which was replaced at the last minute with MacWrite, which was thought to not be ready for the Macintosh launch, but which was finally released on time.  WriteNow was brought to NeXT with Steve Jobs when he was fired from Apple in 1985.  WriteNow continued to evolve there as a commercial product and was ported to NEXTSTEP.
