Re: [Freedos-user] Word processing
Hi just saw this. Not sure how you define word processing, but one can still find wordperfect. if you ever owned a copy, you can get the last officially dos editions. The added benefit is that drivers are still updated, meaning you can use a new printer with the program. Karen On Thu, 5 May 2011, Marco Achury wrote: Is available any new wordprocessor for DOS?

Re: [Freedos-user] Word processing
Again, the programs are still to be had. what is more, there are ways to use them, even under more recent editions of windows. Will confirm my contact for getting them, and share.
