3.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful word processor, July 27, 2011

This review is from: Describe Word Processor Version 5 User's Guide/Book and Cd (Paperback)

Haven't used the program in years, but it was the only OS/2 word processor that featured typeset quotes. That's why I bought it, and I was delighted with it under both OS/2 and, later, Windows.

I have to amend this. It is designed for Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows 3.1, and OS/2.

[But I cannot get it to install under Windows Vista.]

Second edit: when I run the installer in Windows 95 compatibility mode, the install goes smoothly. The program seems to be working well. Its age is obvious -- it doesn't understand the meaning of a mouse wheel! and the interface is more dated than I remember -- but it is good to have it back.
