If I have a legal W95 I also have IE 4. Text602 and Tab602 are made for users who cannot exist without Windows environment. Nevertheless those two programs perfectly replaces Word and Excel functionality, reads and writes the MS file format. I think from the technical as well as from the economic point of view Soft602 IS the most relevant alternative to MS-Office.
