  Impressive work. Translating 16-bit segmented memory to x64 without emulation is no small feat. The test suite covering UI workflows is a nice touch.

    There are pics from the developer in this article (not sure why he neglected them in the README):

    Might the lack there of be copyright related? I guess not something you want to burn your hands on.

      The original source for WfW 1.1a was open sourced (I realize that doesn't mean there isn't copyright, but it's unlikely to be the reason that there are no pics):

  >This project is a fully working native Windows x64 port of Microsoft Word for Windows 1.1a, whose historical codename was Opus.

  Not to be confused with the Anthropic LLM model Opus - what was once an old codename is as good as new once again!

    It’s a common word amongst people with even a bit of erudition. In truth, using it for any kind of software is overusing it.
