I'd think the choices would be obvious, Word Perfect which has been suggested, might
be a decent choice, however, I for one would be inclined to go with
MS Word 6.0. Personally I have a strong dislike for Ami Pro, though I'll admit that
is due to my using the OS/2 version.
IF you operate in isolation, then consider the later versions of the DOS
products, specifically Word-Pervert, Weird, and PC-Write.
If you are going to be transferring files with more "modern" machines,
then condsider running MICROS~1 OFFICE (Weird, Excel, etc.)
The version of Office for Windoze 3.11 usually came on 26 1.4M floppies,
but there WAS a CD-ROM available.
