I remember that the Borland Office suite with Ami Pro and Quattro Pro was available on GEOS and worked like a charm on a low-end 386 :)

- Narishma 5y agoNot Ami Pro. That was a Windows application from the very first version.
- lproven 5y agoYeah, no, I think you remember incorrectly. Quattro Pro was a DOS app, but it had a look-and-feel that resembled PC GEOS. What you're thinking of as Amí Pro, I don't know. Samna Amí was a Windows app from the beginning – the first Windows word processor, I think. MS Word 5.5 & 6 had a CUA appearance, but drawn in text mode. WordPerfect 6.x for DOS does have an optional graphics mode that is superficially Windows/GEOS-like.
- wazoox 5y agoActually there was a Quattro Pro version for GEOS (it's still downloadable somewhere). That's the Ami Pro part I rememeber incorrectly :)
- lproven 5y agoA DOS app that had a GEOS-like look and feel. It's mentioned here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEOS_(16-bit_operating_system)#Versions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEOS_(16-bit_operating_system)... It was a DOS app with a self-drawn GUI -- you can see some screenshots here: https://winworldpc.com/screenshot/c2a0050c-c2a8-2d60-11c3-a4e284a2c3a5 https://winworldpc.com/screenshot/c2a0050c-c2a8-2d60-11c3-a4... ... and here: https://winworldpc.com/screenshot/c389727e-5fc2-bac3-bd11-c3a4c2ac5a54 https://winworldpc.com/screenshot/c389727e-5fc2-bac3-bd11-c3...
