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
