Protext 6.7 6.7

What is Protext? One of the most successful British word processor programs, developed by Peterborough-based Arnor Ltd between 1985 and 1995, Protext sold over 30,000 copies. Original written for the Amstrad CPC464, Protext was subsequently released for the Amstrad PCW8256, the PC, the Atari ST, Commodore Amiga and the Acorn Archimedes. Despite being packed with advanced features, above all the latest versions of Protext remain fast and very easy to use. It is a credit to the programmers that the user-friendly qualities of the original CPC version have been maintained through to this latest one while building in more and more useful features. This zip contains another two zips, the program together with German & French dictionaries and thesaurus. It also contains two text files, the user manual and reference manual. Once the first Protext.zip is extracted take the Protext67.zip and extract all files to another folder. Open the folder in Windows and then: If using Windows Vista, any other version of Windows except XP, or MS-DOS run INSTALLC.BAT which will install Protext to C:\PROTEXT. Alternatively INSTALLD.BAT will install to D:\PROTEXT. If you want to install to a different location you will need to do this from a Command Prompt by typing INSTALL {any path}. If using Windows XP then run INSTALL16C.BAT which will install Protext to C:\PROTEXT. Alternatively INSTALL16D.BAT will install to D:\PROTEXT. If you want to install to a different location you will need to do this from a Command Prompt by typing INSTALL {any path} 16.
