Review: Essentially the OS/2 version of MS Word for Windows V 1.1. It is petite, functional, and does what the manual says it will do. It also has an equation writer, not the fanciest, but with a little effort it does the job for an engineer.
We've seen evidence that 1.1a and 1.1b versions were produced, but don't know file dates or disk assy. Numbers.
