Totally agree.
The closest you'll get, if you like the late-era MacOS experience, is
9.04 running under SheepShaver.
If you want the classic Classic, you could run 6.0.8 under Basilisk or
vMac or the like. My copy of Word 5.1 runs happily under both - but
host integration is fairly poor.

If the disks are readable, I have WP 4.2, 5.1,
and 5.2 for DOS. ?I
should also have a copy of WP for Windows 6.0, and WP for Mac around
here. ?I used to be big into WP before I moved to the Mac and moved
to Word (hated WP for Mac). ?The trick will be reviving a system,
hopefully one with a version on the HD still runs. ?Wasn't expecting
4.2 data, or it to be such a pain. :-(
Man, I wish I could still run Word 5.1 for Mac on modern machines. ?It's easily the
best version they ever made, and possibly the best word processor for the Mac.
