Textra, from the University of Michigan based Ann Arbor Software, was
a small and fast word processor highly optimized for speed and rapid
data entry. First released in 1982 Textra, like many other early PC
word processors, was born out of the lack of a decent IBM PC
editor/word processor. Textra featured a full set of text
manipulation commands, common text formatting abilities, and full
screen editing. It was specifically designed for the IBM PC, giving
it faster load and save times and the most responsive user interface
possible. It was priced much lower than most other text editors or
word processors.
