Spellbinder 6.10

Spellbinder, from Lexisoft and later Ltec Inc, is a word processing program originally created for CP/M and OASIS operating systems and eventually competed with WordStar. It was designed as a work-alike of the NBI Word Processing system (a dedicated hardware word processor system) and featured spell checking, grammar checking, footnotes, two-column print, proportional printing, and macro programming language. It was bundled with machines from Eagle Computers, Hewlett-Packard, and Xerox.

Later CP/M versions were sold by Lambda Software Publishing, and the last CP/M version of Spellbinder was 5.3.

6.10 may be the last DOS version.

The Spellbinder Word Processor is not to be confused with the separate "Spellbinder Desktop Publisher" product.
