heh, no, not really... most text was processed in .TXT files back in them days...

Back in the day, there wasn't anything to format anyway, only OS/2 could do those things before MSWord monopolized shit halfway -w-;

Oh, I had nearly forgotten that files were a lot simpler back then so there wasn't need for different, fancy formats! I thought word processing platforms were like the home computer market overall in the 70's and 80's: A large variety of platforms each with their proprietary formats and accessories, all of which are incompatible with any other platform. ^^;

naah they were too busy ripping off hardware and turning it into completely incompatible stuff in those days
