If you were happy with Lotus 1-2-3, Lotus Notes and WordPerfect, you
were set!

I had a copy of Word and Excel for OS/2, written back for OS/2 1.x. I
think Warp 3 broke compatibility with them.

If your BBS had OS/2 native binaries, you were in luck. I ran Maximus,
Squish and BinkleyTerm for OS/2, and they ran well in a single console
window.
