Escriba is a WYSIWYG word processor for the OS/2 Presentation Manager interface. It does not attempt to go head-to-head with the large professional word processors available for OS/2 PM or Windows, but rather tries to provide a more modest set of functions. Normal text formatting is provided for, plus the program has the ability to handle graphics. All installed ATM fonts are supported, in all the native formats and in a wide range of sizes. Printer support is strictly through the OS/2 PM interface, providing output on any printer supported by that interface, including FAX and plotter devices.

History

The name changed from Pluma in 1995, the code was showing some serious warts, and so apart from renaming the program, I chose to not release it for prime-time again until I had resolved those problems. In the end, I never did release a non-beta version again, though as a series of beta releases it did gain some more functionality.
