The ones I have right in front of me as I type, perhaps?  I'd copy the
ISBNs, but I really couldn't be bothered.  :)

LE> Word 5.n only existed on the Macintosh.

That's crap.  MS Word went up to at least v5.5 (and possibly even v6.0) for
the DOS-based Intel PC.  Mine is version 5.0, BTW.

LE> PC platforms went from Word 2.0 -> Word 6.0 at the same time Mac 
LE> went from Word 5.x -> Word 6.0 !!

We're talking about the _DOS_ versions, not the bloody Windows ones...

I will say it again, the DOS versions will also install under native OS/2
(and run as native OS/2 apps) if SETUP is run from an OS/2 prompt.  QED.

Regards, Bill
