Older wordprocessing software

Jules,

I still have most of those old versions of WordPerfect 5.1 DOS, WordPerfect
6.0 for both DOS and Windows (the file formats are identical, BTW), MS
Office 4.3 for Win3x, AmiPro/Samna, and even (gasp) MultiMate. I have
*several* copies of the WordPerfect 5.1 manuals, along with some old Lotus
1-2-3 v2.3 and Harvard Graphics manuals (and the software for those also).

Personally, I was a WordPerfect aficionado (because of the DOS/WIN file
format matching). Hated Word, and used AmiPro/Samna for legal documents
(best on the planet back then).

Most are on 5-1/4", a few are on 3-1/2", and Office is on CD. Let me know
privately what you need and we'll work out a way to get it to you.

Hi all, perhaps pusing the boundaries of off-topicness here a little, but...

I'm taking suggestions for wordprocessing software to run on an older 486
laptop (1994, so almost within the 10 year limit!) that's running Windows
3.11
...

I still use the machine for a bit of wordprocessing ocassionally (such as it
is
with Windows Write), and better software would be nice. The laptop's handy
for
taking stuff down on before formatting things 'properly' on a more modern
desktop.

I remember Ami Pro being quite reasonable on a similar spec desktop machine,
but my copy went to tape years ago and around half of the old tapes of mine
that I found recently are no longer readable :-(

Suggestions of alternative software welcome though...

cheers

Jules
