Protext has sold over 30,000 copies. Original written for the Amstrad [[CPC 464]], Protext was subsequently released for the Amstrad [[PCW|PCW8256]], the IBM-PC, the [[Atari ST]], [[Amiga|Commodore Amiga]] and the [[Acorn Archimedes]]. When [[Arnor]] closed in 1995 it seemed that Protext had become another British casualty of the fast-evolving world of computers. [[WACCO]] continued with the sales. But a group of Protext users with professional experience from other areas of business, were not prepared to let it go. They formed a partnership called Protext Software with the copyright owners and original programmers and have relaunched the program in an new version (v6.7) for the PC. == Covers == <gallery caption="Protext (tape)"> Image:Protext (tape) Back Cover.jpg|Back CoverImage:Protext (tape) Front Cover.jpg|Front Cover </gallery> <gallery caption="Protext (ROM)"> Image:Protext (disc) (old version) Back Cover.jpg|Back CoverImage:Protext (ROM) Front Cover.jpg|Front Cover </gallery> <gallery caption="Protext (disc)"> Image:Protext (disc) (old version) Back Cover.jpg|(old version) Back CoverImage:Protext (disc) (old version) Front Cover.jpg|(old version) Front CoverImage:Protext (disc) (new version) Back Cover.jpg|(new version) Back CoverImage:Protext (disc) (new version) Front Cover.jpg|(new version) Front Cover </gallery> <gallery caption="Protext (disc-CPM)"> Image:Protext (disc-CPM) (old version) Back Cover.jpg|(old version) Back CoverImage:Protext (disc-CPM) (old version) Front Cover.jpg|(old version) Front CoverImage:Protext (disc-CPM) (new version) Back Cover.jpg|(new version) Back CoverImage:Protext (disc-CPM) (new version) Front Cover.jpg|(new version) Front Cover </gallery> == Tape == <gallery caption="Protext"> Image:Protext Tape.jpg|Tape </gallery>
