That's why I haven't been testing it on my 486 to see if it crashes or
not.
Since it's meant for freedos 1.1, how do I test it again?
BTW: The archives for this list are really hard to search.

pcwrite was a pretty complete shareware word processor that we used
successfully in a workplace to write reports. It may still be around either as
share or abandoned.

MY config looks like this:

Hi!
The whole idea is to get updates ONLINE...
So yes, you have to be networked to let FDUPDATE contact the FreeDOS updates
server...

Old install floppies.
a lot of those old install floppies have propriatary formatting
which can make it hard to make a back up while the disks are
still good.

Com1/3 and 2/4 share the same irq. If you want to use them
simultaneously, you'll need to change the irq they use. This would
make them non-standard, but there are programs that can add com 3-4 to
your bios port table area, and thus make them viewable by normal dos
apps. I used to have i

I managed to install and Run Abiword on Windows 2000. I installed Windows
2000 on a PC with a 200 MHz processor, 64 MB of RAM, 2 GB hard disk (much older
than the PC itself) and it ran quite well. It ran Seamonkey quite well, also.
I will look for Wordperfect in order to run it under Freedos
There's no technical reason open document formats couldn't be
supported on 386-486 machines, after all, the format itself has
nothing to do with the cpu usage.
As for using word perfect on windows 98se, I've done this on a 486-
sx-66, and it worked just fine. I don't think you have to worry a
