I remember dimly the days of patching the WS to cure its stack overflows.
... I went to WP 5.1 as soon as I could, and I wish we could have that version today.
I still have those floppies, and it still runs on current Windoze, as well as working with more recent WP linux versions. However, when I was out of work and took care that my resume displayed correctly under both Word97 and WP8, when I sent it to linux shops, they rejected it and said they wanted a pure Word 95/97 version, not one which had been touched by linux. How could linux office applications ever be taken seriously when linux shops don't accept their use by job applicants?
Man!! Now that is something!!
