One of "3 Large functions" of Multistation was a word processing.
When Multistation appeared, it name was the "Bunsyo Program".
This program was started by the system different from DOS.
Although this program repeated upgrade as it was, the "DOS Bunsyo
Program"
which operates on DOS newly behind was added.
And it became a "DOS Bunsyo Program" to operate on PS/55 of MCA,
and the
"Bunsyo Program" was lost.
There was also another word processor of another software house,
such as
"Ichitaro" and "WordStar."
Bunsyo Program
DOS Bunsyo Program
Others Japanese Word Processer
Others language Word Processer
Bunsyo Program
It is the program of the word processor put on the
market simultaneously with
the appearance of Multistation.
On DOS, this program did not operate, but when applying with
a hard-disk, it
needed to be assigned to another partition.
Version
The version was from 1.0 to 5.4.
Memory
It was as highly efficient, and at least 384KB memory
was required at the time
or version 1.0. Since the beginning term type standard
memory was 256KB, it
needed to extend. Depending on the function used by
the version 4.0, it 512KB
memory was needed, and 640KB memory was needed in a
version 5.0.
Dictionary / Font
There were an idiom dictionary / fonts of IBM basic
character set and extended
character set as an option. The font had both 24 dots
and 16 dots.
Otherwise, the extended dictionary and the font of
12 points (No. 4 printing type)
for using it by patent application etc. were
options.
Document distribution program
It is a program for transmitting and receiving a document
via a document
distribution program host system. When a 5.0 or more-version
Bunsyo Program
was used, data, such as business graph and a figure,
was able to be included.
File Conversion Utilities (PC-WP)
Bunsyo Program does not operate in DOS. This is a required
program when
taking in the data on DOS.
From the intermediate version, bidirectional conversion
was attained and
conversion of a document with DOS Bunsyo Program was
also attained.
The conversion utility moved on DOS also appeared as
an object for MCA
machines behind.
Keyboard
W1 type keyboard can be used now from a version 5.1.
This keyboard was premised on mainly using a word processor.
Arrangement is based on 1 and 2 types. The function
of a word processor is
assigned to the function key.

DOS Bunsyo Program
The word processor put on the market in order to make it the
system on DOS
is a "DOS Bunsyo Program."
The DOS Bunsyo Program for Multistation had I and II.
There is a version of exclusive use as an object for 5535
independently.
III is the version which operates by PS/55 of MCA.
Version
I is only a version 1.0. There is II to a version 6.0.
The object for 5535 has a version 1.0 and a version
6.0.
III corresponds also to DOS/V by the version 2 or 3.
Environment of operation
Although there is no publication about a memory, it
is thought that 640KB is
probably required.
Although the drives are the two minimum diskette-drive,
the Kanji Font Card
and the Extended Dictionary Card (for clause conversion)
are needed in this
case.
In DOS, more than version K2.7 (it is more than K3.2
at the time of use of a
network) and the object for 5535 have become more than
K3.3.
DOS Bunsyo / office support communication utility
It is a program for transmitting and receiving a document
via a host system.
It is equivalent to the document distribution program
of Bunsyo Program.
