IBM DisplayWrite
DisplayWrite was a word processor software application that IBM developed and marketed for its line of IBM PCs.
File format
Its document files used the RFT (Revisable-Form Text) or DCA (document content architecture) filename extension, both of which were standards on IBM mainframe computers.
Features
DisplayWrite's feature set was based on the IBM Displaywriter System, a dedicated microcomputer-based word processing machine.[1] Because the two systems were so similar, an experienced Displaywriter user could start using DisplayWrite immediately.[2]
DisplayWrite/370, a much more powerful version with full graphics and WYSIWYG support, is still available for IBM zSeries mainframe computers as of May 2012[1] (see IBM Displaywriter System).
