Re: Office 98 on G3 iMac with Panther

[Andrew]

It will run in "Classic Mode", meaning emulated OS 9, which on a G3 233 
iMac will be painfully slow.   Is she (or you) a student?  AppleWorks 6 
is only $39 for students, and makes a great word processor in either OS 
9 or X.

Of course, another option is to put 8.6 or 9 on that iMac and it will 
not only run Mac Office 98 well, but will magically turn from a slug 
into a speed demon.

across an Office 98 for Mac CD.  Will that work on this iMac with 
Panther?
I mean can you install older applications like that on Panther or will 
it
only support applications made specifically for Panther?
