He tells of his IMSAI experiences and then of starting MicroPro International which produced the first blockbuster application software product, WordStar, which ran under the CP/M operating system. He discusses in detail the problems that later occurred at MicroPro leading to WordStar losing its premier position and eventually to the company being sold. He talks about his belief that word processing was the principal application which really triggered the explosive growth of the PC market.en-USComputer historyBarnaby, Rob.Computer software industry -- History.IMSAIInterTrust.MicroPro International Corporation.Millard, Bill.Prompt Software.Sanders Associates.Word processing -- Computer programs.Oral History
