Win 3.1 Word Processor?

mhelliwell · 04-23-2005, 11:38 AM

I have a very old laptop w/ DOS and Windoze 3.1. I was wondering if there were a free word processor program for Windoze 3.1. It would be even better if there was a whole suite of spreadsheet, word process, presentation, draw, etc.

I remember using Wordperfect, Quattro Pro and so on for Windows 3.1.

I even know that there was a version of MS Office for Windows 3.1 but I forget the version number.

You can probably get Lotus 123 or Lotus Symphony from somewhere.

The question is, is a laptop that is that old worth bothering??

For word processing, nah. But I am just testing. But for old DOS games, totally!

Windows 3.1 whould come with a brilliant word processor program called 'write'. I used it for every writing need for years and liked it so much I even copied it to 9x systems when I had to make the switch. It should be found from c:/windows directory. write.exe

WordPerfect 5.1
Still have to find a better Wordprocessor.

Hunt for a copy of that one and consider yourself blessed. (I'm still searching...)
