Description
MultiMate was word processor software, originally created for internal use at an insurance company in the early 1980s, then released as a commercial software package mostly marketed to corporations rather than individuals. MultiMate was only released for PC/MS-DOS; since no Windows version was ever released, it faded out along with DOS.
