-
- Several.
-
- All the DOS and Windows ones work fine, first off.
-
- Then there's Word 5.5 (which runs under both DOS and native OS/2),
- Word 1.1b for Presentation Manager, IBM DisplayWrite 5/2, WordPerfect
- 5.0 for OS/2, and perhaps a couple others.
-
- The best right now is DeScribe 4.0 for OS/2. (Spinnaker's PFS:Works
- and N/Joy are also available for OS/2, and they include word
- processors, but they are really integrated packages.) AmiPro and
- CA-Textor are slated for early this year; WordPerfect is due out, too,
- although it isn't clear when they will ship.
