Huh, first time I heard about the T602 word processor, which kinda looks like a Czech/Slovak WordStar. Anyone from that area have any experience with that? #DOS #retrocomputing #T602

    @mhd dear Lord...we had T602 (also Calc602) in schools back in the day, in Czechoslovakia and after the split. But I think it got phased out after Windows 95 and the MS Word dominance. ...those were the days :)

    @mhd This was very widely used text editor that worked in text mode (i.e. no graphics). It was later supplanted by MAT text editor from Cybex that ran in graphics mode. Both of them only allowed for raw text editing with very minimal formatting. The basic reason for their existence was that other text editors had problems supporting Czech diacritics.

    @mhd Basically everyone from Czechoslovakia used this text editor in 90's. And yes, it was pretty cool. :)
