- unixhero 8y agoIt looks really great! It's stylesetting is miles ahead of plain text, available elsewhere in msdos.
- news_to_me 8y agoWow, that's really interesting! I'd love to read a write-up of your experience starting that up.

- linuxlizard 8y agoI was in college at the time. Wrote a /lot/ of technical papers with GeoWorks. The word processor and draw had great integration.
- linuxlizard 8y agoAlso had a Tetris that is still the nicest clone I've ever played. For years after, I'd load my GeoWorks onto an old PC just to play the Tetris. I probably have the GeoWorks disks in my garage still.
- bdamm 8y agoI'm 100% confident I've played that exact Tetris, but on Linux with Motif on X. So I think you'll find, if you poke around enough, that source code is alive and accessible.
- johnm 8y agoI doubt it. Ours was written in our homegrown x86 assembly language for our own OS kernel.
- johnm 8y agoWe had some fun times playing heads up Tetris competitions in the office. It was extra fun when one of the guys checked in a hacked version with some special keys to cheat that only he knew about. :-)
