Word processor older Mac

[Patou]

Hi, I just purchased a Duo Powerbook 230 (great machine BTW, I'm happy) with OS 7.5.5. in a couple of minutes (I'm doing the full install)

I read that Word 5.1a should run on it.

Does anyone know where I can find Word 5.1 ?
Or is there any word processing software (freeware/shareware)
that I should consider?

Remember, the Duo 230 is a 68030 with 16MB ram and 80MB HD

Any links would be appreciated (you may also reply off thread)

Thanks

Duo 230 is sure a great machine! (I've still got two of them and a 280 too!)
Word 5.1 would run great,
but i Claris Works 4 is much better.
With CW 4 you'll aslo get database, spreedsheets and drawing features!
Unfortunaterly both CW4 and Word 5.1 aren't freeware.
CW4 shouldn't cost much on eBay, i think.

Check out these places to find more info and freeware for your pb duo
