- Tempus-Word was ahead of its time in the 1990s but became obsolete with the demise of Atari.
- Despite technological advancements, some still use Tempus-Word for large text projects due to its efficiency with thousand-page documents and footnotes.
- Active product maintenance ended nearly two decades ago, yet requests for updates or exports of old texts persist.
- A free license for Tempus-Word version 5.4 is available upon request, though response times may vary.
- Tempus Word 5.4 is likely the last version, with updates only relevant for preserving existing documents in their original format.
- The trial version allows exporting documents as RTF files, though some special properties may be lost.
