Oof.

I got a copy of RightWriter 4.0 on 360k 5.25-inch floppies from the thrift store after noticing that it might be rather rare, being an early form of software similar to Grammarly. Turns out that this particular format, the 5.25-inch 360k disks for version 4.0 has never been archived or uploaded onto any major archival site such as Winworld, BetaArchive, or Archive.org.

Only problem is, I don't have a 5.25" floppy drive to use for dumping an image of the disks, though I've got multiple computers that support the drive format, including the VIA C7 board I once got Windows 10 running on.

So I guess I'ma have to grab a working drive from somewhere then... IN THE NAME OF SOFTWARE PRESERVATION!

'Cause for all I know, I might have one of the only surviving copies of that thing left in the world, and save for one of the "comment cards" in the manual being long-since torn out and mailed to the software publisher, the box is in pristine condition, and has everything in it still save for the 3.5" 720k floppies that were also supposedly shipped in the box.

technically I've had the software for about a month now. It was just sitting on my bookshelf and I finally decided to see if there was an archived version anywhere online so I could give it a try in DOSbox and compare it with the likes of modern software like Grammarly.

EDIT: Meant 360k, not 320k. I was thinking of the low-density 720k 3.5" disks when I was typing.
