Installing Final Writer on an Amiga in 2023

In this video I attempt to install the word processing package from Softwood, named Final Writer, via floppy disk, onto my Amiga A1200.
Do I succeed? 😱
Final Writer was an excellent word processing package back in the day, and was a word processor I used quite a bit, so I am keen to install it and start using it again.

Used this program in the 1990's to run my business. Well supported and elegant program. Thanks.

[@YawningAngelRetro]

It was/is such a solid program. Glad you found the video useful. 😎

I really like the disk checker tool. That's my idea of a fun afternoon!!

[@YawningAngelRetro]

If you get desperate I can send you all my floppy disks to check… 😁😉

Nice easy upgrade from 2 to 4. I've never really dug deep into a Word Processor, I've written letters on one, but never really took advantage of what they can do. I'm looking forward to this series.

[@YawningAngelRetro]

Many thanks. Yes, this will be a nice series to run through. I have a few ideas… 😁
