Volkswriter, from Lifetree Software Inc, was an early easy to use
word processor for the IBM PC. Development of Volkswriter was
inspired by the horridness of EasyWriter, and for a brief time it was
possibly the only usable word processor for the IBM PC before an IBM
version of WordStar was released. The "Deluxe" version will work with
larger documents and has more features.
Version 4 r1.0 adds font support, macros, a graphical page preview,
and includes the Correct Grammar grammar checker.
Reportedly Lifetree also introduced a "staggered" edition numbering
system where versions 2, 4, and 6 sold simultaneously with different
levels of features. Volkswriter 4 r1.0 was followed up by Volkswriter
4 r2.0
