Also make sure you're getting High Density diskettes. I bought Works 1.0
with Quicken 1.5 from them and they were 800k Diskettes...
If you have th, no problem.
Also, I believe that the Microsoft installer does NOT work with Executor
currently, so you'll probably need a Macintosh to install the disks with
anyway.
Perhaps someone who has successfully installed Word 5.0, 5.1x can write up
a procedure for it and post it. I am unsure what files I'll need to copy,
etc..
