Depends what you need, what keystrokes you like, etc. I find WordPerfect 6.1 for DOS on a modern machine is quite fun to use. In its day it was considered bloated and sluggish, but on a Core 2 Duo it's blisteringly fast. :-) I personally happen to _like_ MS Word and I have that on some machines and in DOSemu. It too is very very quick on modern-ish (21st century) hardware. If you like the WordPerfect keystrokes and UI (which personally I do not) then the WordPerfect Editor is freeware. It does only plain text but it's even lighter and quicker than the full app. https://clasqm.github.io/freedos-repo/Productivity.html -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lpro...@gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven UK: (+44) 7939-087884 ~ Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053 _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
