PaperClip

PaperClip is a word processor for the Commodore 64, 128 ( native mode), and Atari 8 bit personal computers.

The Commodore 64 version of PaperClip was written by Steve Douglas and was rewritten for the Atari personal computer by Steve Ahlstrom and Dan Moore. The Atari version is based upon the editor in the Action! programming language by Clinton Parker. It had many changes but the fundamental data structure (double linked list of lines) never changed.

Both versions were published by Michael Reichmann 's Batteries Included of Toronto, Ontario, Canada and by Ariolasoft in the United Kingdom.

PaperClip does not use word wrap to display text on the screen, which Ahoy!s reviewer wrote was satisfactory for Commodore 64 users with 40-column displays but drew the ire of the reviewer for Whole Earth Software Catalog while highlighting OMNIWRITER's support for same. The Commodore 64 version provides an 80-column preview mode with text that was legible on a computer monitor, and supported a wide variety of Commodore and non-Commodore printers. The software was supplied with a dongle, a hardware key used for copy protection that plugged into the DB-9 joystick port. A keyless version was also available.

One unusual aspect of at least some PaperClip programs is that the Control key functioned more like on a hand-held calculator. You have to press and release the Control key, then press the key for the appropriate function.

PaperClip is also the name given to the text editor ROM portion of the Commodore PET Execudesk office suite. The ROM was written by Steve Douglas as well.
