PaperClip
PaperClip was a word processor for the Commodore 64, 128 (native mode), and Atari 8 bit personal computers.
The Commodore 64 version of PaperClip was written by Steve Douglas and was rewritten for the Atari personal computer by Steve Ahlstrom and Dan Moore.
Both versions were published by Michael Reichmann's Batteries Included of Toronto, Ontario, Canada and by Ariolasoft in the United Kingdom.
Paperclip was supplied with a dongle, a hardware key used for copy protection that plugged into the DB-9 joystick port. A keyless version was also available.
One unusual aspect of at least some PaperClip programs was that the Control key functioned more like on a hand-held calculator. You had to press and release the Control key, then press the key for the appropriate function.
PaperClip was also the name given to the text editor ROM portion of the Commodore PET Execudesk office suite. The ROM was written by Steve Douglas as well.
