I have MS Word 6 for dos. Its junk. Only does a fraction
of the same windows version. Wordperfect 6.2 is great. I
bought some extras for it. I added stamp and an update
disk.
cheers

IIRC Wd55_ben.exe was released to fix a y2k bug. So one would still need

If you want a distraction-free word processor, you might also try Microsoft
Word for DOS 5.5. Microsoft released this as a free (gratis) download from
their website. I covered it in this week's FreeDOS video, on our YouTube

abt loading data via USB thumb drive, and the history of EP and it's
relationship to the later packaged version. I'm going to try to build an

Dennis - Thank you for all the info! I installed Linux Mint via USB on that

Eric,
Thank you for the detailed response! I never played video games, actually,
I'm just nostalgic for the text interface experience and I really want to
use WordPerfect again but without installing a VM. As long as I can enter
code and also load DOS programs via USB, I'll get tons of mileage
Hi Vincent! I would say as long as it has at least a
few megabytes of RAM and at least a 386 CPU, FreeDOS
