[Ham-Computers] Windows 3.11

[KEN]

Hi Jonathan & Gand,

I too have a proverbial 64 dollar question for help if possible.
There is a beautiful word processor program, "Professional Write" that is a 
joy to use. I use it on my 486-SX-16 but I would like very much to
put it on my HP Pavilion a1224n running Windows XP. With the 486-SX-16 the 
printer with it is 'tractor feed' and prints left to right and right to
left. Tractor feed paper is, or will be, unavailable soon!
Is there a program which makes possible loading this word processor program 
into my HP with XP?
Thanks!

Ken   N5CM
