Today at NEXTWORLD Expo, RightBrain Software and Appsoft, Inc. announced an agreement whereby Appsoft will provide technology to fully support WriteNow files in RightBrain's new word processor, ExactlyWrite. In exchange, RightBrain has agreed to provide free copies of ExactlyWrite to all Appsoft customers who purchased WriteNow after December 1, 1992. "We're pleased to work with a quality publisher like RightBrain to offer our customers a quick migration path to the Intel platform while preserving their investment in WriteNow documents." said Randy Adams, president of Appsoft, Inc. "After seeing ExactlyWrite, we knew our users would be happy with the product and since our own word processor, Write, has been delayed, we felt it important to provide our customers with an Intel solution immediately." "We are extremely happy to work with Appsoft to provide solutions for WriteNow customers," said Glenn Reid, president of RightBrain Software. "WriteNow is clearly the most widely-used word processor in the NEXTSTEP environment, and users have a large investment in existing WriteNow documents."
