FocusWriter is a minimalist word processor tailored towards writers who need zero distractions on their desktop. Specialized features include progress tracking, time scheduling, and project management.
In brief: Before Microsoft Word became the de-facto standard for word processing on the PC, the market was rich with choice. WordStar is a program many great writers started their career on, and now even the most juvenile authors can easily access this classic tool thanks to DOS emulation and a repackaging effort by Robert Sawyer.
