TheNameOfTheGame Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Nick closed his store some time ago. There are no docs for this program other than the CD with everything on it. I know because I bought the CD from Nick when he was in business. Check the abandonware thread on the other forum for the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking272 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Yes it would seem he closed it: https://atariage.com/forums/topic/248863-time-to-go-into-the-dark-night/?tab=comments#comment-3434626 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 Yes, I remember it. I'm hoping, though, that he's still around so that I can contact him directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking272 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 It looks like Papyrus X was only made available in German - I wonder if that is an issue for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterMotorola Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 davidcalgary29, did you try to contact Papyrus directly or ROM-Logicware (the German distributor)? Maybe they still have some old copies laying around. https://www.papyrus.de/ https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Local-Business/ROM-Logicware-GmbH-463661023749637 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor_shred Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I miss Nick's 16/32 store. Bought loads of stuff off him over the years. I hope he's doing well where ever he is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel that I should follow up with an actual letter: "You have forced me to write this letter to you on Atariwriter Plus on an Atari 400 because no one will sell me a copy of Papyrus X. Fulfill your obligations to society now!". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My version was English so I can only assume that a translated resource was made available by Nick. Some of previous versions (6 - 9) only made it in German iirc. I was stuck using version 5 for years until X was released. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zogging Hell Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Tempus Word was a good alternative if you fail to find a copy of Papyrus X. http://www.tempus-word.de/ Might want to email them to see if it still available before you buy though as it hasn't been updated for a long while. I have a copy and can say it is comparable, minus the more office like functions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+davidcalgary29 Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 Update! I received a response from Papyrus: Quote Sorry, I have to add another 5 years to that "being late" ... You reached the right guys, but sorry ... Best Regards Ulli Am 22.10.2020 um 19:15 schrieb David: Hello, I am searching for a copy of Papyrus X for TOS (Atari ST) machines. I realize that this e-mail is probably twenty years too late -- but do you have any copies left for sale? Thanks David Oh, well. I think I can get a boxed copy of Papyrus Gold, and I suppose I'll have to settle for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
