Word 5.1 for the Mac runs fine under Executor (
http://www.ardi.com). In fact, Executor
came about as a way to run Word and Excel on NeXT systems, and was ported to Windows, DOS,
and Linux.
Executor was how I ran Word for Mac on my PC until Word for Windows eventually caught up.
I also used the MagicSac on my Atari-ST with an Epson MX-80 and EPStart (to print with) to
use Word on my ST. Later I got a program whose name I forget (Printworks for the Mac -
Laser Version?) that was a driver for popular Laser and Dot Matrix Printers that came with
a special Apple Serial to Parallel printer cable.
I have a Spectre-128 GCR now (I also have ARDI's Transporter One to read Mac GCR
disks), but haven't booted my ST in ages. It has a 2.5gb RAM upgrade by AERCO that has
stopped working, and I lost the documentation for it, so I can't figure out the jumper
settings. Someday, I hope to find them or find someone who has it... Or even more
unlikely, run into one of the principles of AERCO.
I remember that WordPerfect for the Mac 3.5 ran fine under Classic on MacOS X. Here's
a webpage about
it:?http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/wpdos/macintosh.html
Hope some of this is helpful...
