Quickwriter
Found in June 1988 issue of Nibble magazine (Volume 9, Number 6).
Archive.org link here.
The project was alerted to the existence of a few text editors and word processors in Nibble magazine by someone on matrix.
What we found was a great wealth of BASIC programs for the Apple II computer. We uncovered several particularly interesting BASIC word processors. Two that are of particular interest are Quickwriter and Nibblewriter.
Both programs are quite long and involved, so instead of creating one enormous post, we decided to split the discussion up into two feature posts.
