Microsoft Word 5.00 works here under ISC 2.0.2 and VP/ix 1.1.1 with a
Logitech "new" bus mouse, but only after getting the `"Disk Full" Patch'
diskette (for free) from Microsoft.  Without the patch, Word thought the
DOSy representation of the UNIX filesystem was full, read-only or otherwise
unusable.  Without the patch it was able to use real and
fake-in-a-single-file DOS filesystems.
