    Which word processing software was considered the absolute best on Win 3.xx?

    I'd like to use my old 486 to do some serious writing, and am just wondering which software was considered the best at the time. I grew up using MS Write, so I am out of the loop on the subject.

    Hi from the USA - TN

    Hi. I'm Nate. I think this is a great forum and have read threads as a ghost for many years until I finally decided to join recently. Vintage computing is a big part of my hobby life. I am in my early 40's, so I am the last of GenX and got to grow up as a kid and teen during some of the most...
