Early versions of LocoScript were noted for combining a wide range of facilities with outstanding ease of use. This and the low price of the hardware made it one of the best-selling word processors of the late 1980s. Four major versions of LocoScript were published for the PCW, and two for [[IBM PC compatible]]s running [[MS-DOS]]. LocoScript's market share didn't expand with the PC versions, which were not released until after [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] had become the dominant PC [[operating system]].
