See you and raise you fifty -- in one of the DOS emulators I have Word for DOS 5.5 running happily. Microsoft is giving it away and it one of three DOS word processors I sometimes use,
You're only raising me about 20—I'm running Word 6.0, the last 16-bit Windows version. I have an entire stack of install floppies (and it is a big stack) for that version of Office that I can wave at anyone questioning my licensing rights, although whether any of them still contain readable data is anyone's guess.
