Word Processing
 


DOS based applications and utilities



 
Here we will bring you DOS based word processing packages from the mid eighties to the mid nineties which have been useful worldwide.

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



 
Here we will bring you some MS-WINDOWS based packages (mainly working with the earlier versions of MS-Windows 3.1, 3.11, 95 etc.) - and hopefully also some commercial packages.



 

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

      DONE - that's all !      It is totally FREE (and legal of course).
