Its a word processor from Computer Concepts; they did a range including a
spreadsheet and I think one or two other bits and bobs.  It had two
interesting features:

  1) It had an ultra wide column screen mode which it did by using less
than 8 pixels per character.
  2) It was supplied in a 32K ROM with some logic to page them.
