- This is what I used:
https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86
- and from one of its links, I installed:
- WINE,
- then Word 97
- and HanDBase.
- There’s also exagear, once abandoned, now available again with a hacked registration.
- exagear essentially works like box86
I had that running on a Planet Computer Gemini:
- On the PP, I run Manjaro/xfce, and box86 plays nice.
- I don’t know if box86 works as well with other OSs.
- It takes a lot of downloading and compiling, however.
- And don’t forget the long load time for x86 apps
- though their memory demands they are quite modest
- So they can simmer in the background once they’re up.

- This should not be too difficult to install for someone with good coding skills.
- And don’t forget, Word 97 is one of the most advanced Office applications on the Pinephone.
