Word Processing
DOS based applications and utilities
We are also trying to get some commercial packages on this page which are not longer marketed by their manufacturers. We will keep you posted in these matters.
WordPerfect is widely used on DOS based systems. We hope to get in a lot of these wordprocessing packages over time.
Many utilities related to WordPerfect are available from the SIMTEL web site at:

Windows based applications and utilities
Replacements for MS-Windows NOTEPAD and WORDPAD (requires MS-Windows)
Download CNotePad !
Download CWordPad !
Creating .PDF files ( portable document format) with GHOSTSCRIPT (requires MS-Windows):
Most of us probably know the freely available ACROBAT Reader from www.adobe.com .
ADOBE has a huge range of sophisticated applications including the application to create files in .pdf format. For many businesses it has become a must to create documents in .pdf format to distribute them internally, over the web or to their customers. We really recommend to have a look at their web site. There are even trial versions for most of their applications.
However - esp. for our target group - there is a big hurdle to overcome; it is the price for these applications. There is nothing wrong with setting such high prices - the packages are worth each cent - but it puts them out of reach for most users.
The ADOBE Acrobat package is listed at around US $ 250.-- at their web site. Are there alternatives ? Yes - there are.
(1) Go to http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost and download Aladdin Ghostscript 6.01 (or a later version) for Windows 95 etc.
You will find the file
gw601w32.exe
(or a later version) under 'Obtaining Ghostscript ...
or download a .zip file
Also download GSView
gsv34w32.exe
!
Install both of them.
(2) Install a NEW printer on your computer (just the driver - not physically of course)
Go to Settings,
Printers, click
on 'Add new printer'
Select the APPLE
LASER Writer II NT
select 'Print
to File'
(3) Open the document you want to make a .pdf
file for
Issue the PRINT
command from the FILE
menu (select
the APPLE printer) and save the file as a
.prn file
Start
Ghostviewer and OPEN
the .prn file
Select CONVERT
from the FILE
menu (Device = pdfwrite, resolution = 600), click OK
Output
filename: Select a file name with the .pdf
extension
It is totally FREE (and legal of course).
