Do you remember what type of system it was or what operating system?

This was software me my parents used in the 1980s on
our family computer. Does anyone know how and where
to obtain this, for old time's sake?
Thanks in advance.

Not exactly. It was a high-quality mid-1980s "IBM PC"-compatible
by Olivetti, I believe of the same type which eventually was
licensed to AT&T in America. I believe it was something in the
lines of an Olivetti M24, M240 or similar, around 1986-'88.
The problem is, a (much older and very cunning) cousin of mine
took that system with the approval of my parents. I was too
young to intervene and I didn't realize how nice these Olivetti
systems were.

So, I assume it's safe to say that it was 8088 or early 8086
software. One of the two, the software probably appeared for
a number of PC and compatible platforms.
