It was lighter than word or libre and had formatting, unlike simple word editors like notepad++. Bummer to see it go but surely there is (or will be) an alternative
And saved in the open rtf format. Programming a WordPad compatible alternative was my first semi-successful programming exercise.
You can probably still install this. Just like paint (the old version) and the non ad filled solitaire etc
