> pretty much everything you use for Msft Word and similar - all on a 1 MB floppy Somewhere in my pile of not-quite-abandonware I have a copy of the install floppies for Microsoft Word 5.1a for Macintosh, circa 1988/89. All three of them -- and the last one held the spelling checker dictionaries. IIRC you could run Word off floppy, although ideally it wanted 2-4Mb of disk space. And it had most of the features we associate with Word today, including full WYSIWYG -- the only significant omission was Word BASIC. which showed up in Word 6. (Word 6 was a bit of a mess -- bloated from 3 floppies to 20, ran sluggishly, broke all sorts of UI guidelines -- because MS's Mac developers got downsized and in the end Word 6 on the Mac was Word 6 for Windows with some sort of Windows-to-Mac compatibility shim that didn't work terribly well.) (I wrote my first published -- non-fiction -- book with Word 5.1 for MacOS.)
