Notes Peachtext started out in 1979 as the CP/M program Magic Wand by Les Pinter, Mike Griffin and Bill Radding. It featured full screen text editing along with user-defined variables and a number of other advanced features for the period. Magic Wand became Peachtext by Peachtree Software about the time Microsoft Word version 1 came out. Peachtree was later acquired by the Sage Group in 2002 for US$145 million. The Peachtext program is no longer supported by Peachtree. (source: http://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=KY)
