[net.unix] Microsoft WORD for UNIX

lavender@mdivax1.UUCP (lavender) (09/25/86)

Anybody know if Microsoft has a version of WORD for UNIX?
I am particularly interested in one for the SUN 3/50 and
VAX (ie. 4.2 BSD machines).

We have Microsoft Word for System V on a 3b2.  I don't think anyone uses it,
but I could attempt to answer questions.  It seems to work, but it is a
tremendous CPU hog (as is Microsoft Multiplan which we do use).  We can't
really use it because our terminals (Wyse-50s) our junk and can't handle
the inverse underline and other modes correctly.
