It's pretty much like you see console games 'for X-Box' or 'for Sony PS/3' or whatever. So one had stickers on period softwars, saying 'for IBM compatables' or 'for Tandy' or 'for XYZ'. This meant that calls not handled by MS-DOS, such as the video layer, were handled differently by different machines. What was happening here was that IBM's BIOS was secret, and while other people could source the same bits and pieces to make an IBM-PC, the key ingredient was the BIOS, which one could not get. It's at full-size.ĭOS 1 to 4 belong to the age of 'ms-dos clones'. But with OS/2 4 in the release, and IBM's PPC's severely numbered by Florida's tax grab, it seemed that not much came from this. This third is the emulator thing shown above. Unfortunately, the punters thought they were getting OD20 with OS/2 4, so it didn't help Stardock much. The second was the 'Warp 4 makeover', was basically something they did with Object Desktop 2.0 on Warp 3. DOS 6.3 just slipped out too early, although the 6.3 in Warp Connect PPC did in fact contain a proper version of rexx etc. I first saw a picture of it for the 7,0 beta, but it was first tauted for the 6.3 vers. It was supposed to be a shell program (like DOS Shell), but it never made the necessary stability to go prime-time. It looks like WPS Windows, with some icons changed. Like other strange terms, this actually returns results on google. More like a working alpha or unstable beta, than vapourware in MS style terms. ![]() It's also the third piece of 'vapourware' from IBM that i have seen. From what i can guess, it's pretty much like WinOS2 or a DOS vm in OS/2 or Windows, or DOSBox. Microsoft Word Proofing Tools 6.0 for Mac (3.The picture i posted is an 'emulator', not a 'virtual pc'.

Later versions are bundled with Microsoft Office. The DOS, Mac, and Windows versions are quite different from each other, and each restarted their version numbering at "1.0". There were also ports to OS/2, the Atari ST, and Unix. For a time Word for Windows competed with WordPerfect for Windows. A Microsoft Windows version was introduced in 1989, although Palantir WinText, NBI Legend, and Samna AMI/AMI Pro had beaten them to their own Windows platform. The Mac version was introduced in 1985 where it acquired a friendlier user interface and gained some popularity. Word for DOS was never really successful. Initially it competed against many popular word processors such as WordStar, Multimate, and WordPerfect. Its crude WYSIWYG/mouse support was a direct response to the Apple Lisa/Mac, and VisiCorp Visi On. Its design made use of a mouse and WYSIWYG graphics. The Microsoft Word word processor was first introduced for MS-DOS in 1983.
