Wordwise is a word processor program published in 1981. It was the best selling word processor in the UK for the BBC Microcomputer during the 19801990 time period (~50,000 copies sold as of January 1985). The program was supplied on an 8K ROM, and was published by Computer Concepts. The use of ROM allowed the entire RAM of the host machine to be used for storing and manipulating the text, and providing printer-buffer functionality.
