We now have disk images of the very first word processor for the Apple
II, written by John "Captain Crunch" Draper himself: EasyWriter!
It is available on Asimov in the /images/productivity/word_processing
folder:
EasyWriter (Cap'n Software - John Draper - 1979) - Program.dsk
EasyWriter (Cap'n Software - John Draper - 1979) - Formatted Disk.dsk
Thanks to Dirk Backenköhler for supplying the disks, and to Antoine
Vignau for deprotecting and imaging them!
You can read the good Captain's account of EasyWriter's development
here:

Of more interest to programmers might be his implementation of Forth,
which Antoine is currently working on deprotecting. :)
