China DOS Union

Wengier：

New DOS Era
Welcome everyone to my "New DOS Era" website, which has various DOS software and materials. The address is:
http://wendos.mycool.net/

Sorry, some software on your website cannot be linked. The software is rich enough.
I want the simplified Chinese version of OFFICE 4.2. You said you have it, but it can't be downloaded from yours! I downloaded it here from KINGLION.

I'm sorry, I only have MS Office v4.3 Professional for Windows version. It's also a disk version. 31 3.5-inch disks. Do you want me to upload it? This time my "modem" is going to be out of service.

dzy: Whether I personally have a certain software and whether it can be downloaded from a website at present are two different things. The links of some software often become invalid over time due to the reasons of the servers used for everyone to download, and even if the links are constantly corrected, it cannot completely guarantee the validity of all links at a certain moment, but when I just added the software to the website, it must have been downloadable. If you have made a website yourself, you will understand this. Kinglion re-uploading is naturally very good, worthy of praise, and there is no denying it, but that is completely two different things. My above post was just to ask if he has MS Office 4.3, just asking casually, please don't post in such an attitude, and even make an issue of it! Moreover, since it is the new DOS era, the DOS itself and the versions of DOS software you use are still so old. So I advise you to better experience it before posting or replying to the post.

Kinglion: May I ask if this MS Office Pro 4.3 is the English original, or?

I am also using a 56K modem, and I can understand the feelings of the friends above

I know that in OFFICE 95, the internal version of WORD is 7.0, EXCEL is 7.0, POWERPIONT is also 7.0, and ACCESS is 7.0. I used it many years ago, and now I don't know where it was thrown.

The internal versions of OFFICE 97 are all 8.0...

In the last 16-bit version of OFFICE 4.2 Chinese version provided by Kinglion, the internal version of WORD is 6.0, EXCEL is 5.0, PPT is 4.0, and ACCESS 2.0 is not integrated in it. OFFICE 95 is the first comprehensive 32-bit version, developed specifically for WIN 95/NT 3.51, and cannot be installed in WIN 3X. Its internal version number is directly upgraded from OFFICE 4.2. In this way, EXCEL does not have 6.0, and PPT does not have 5.0 or 6.0. If there is, I have never seen it.

I have seen the name of 4.3.

Go to "Wikipedia" to have a look, and you need to see the English version. You can search for the website.

Data from Wikipedia in English:
Office 3.0 (CD-ROM version: Word 2.0c, Excel 4.0a, PowerPoint 3.0, Mail) - released 1992
Office 4.0 (Word 6.0, Excel 4.0, PowerPoint 3.0),1993
Office for NT 4.2 (Word 6.0 , Excel 5.0 , PowerPoint 4.0 , "Microsoft Office Manager" - released 1994
Office 4.3 (The last 16-bit version; Word 6.0, Excel 5.0, PowerPoint 4.0 and in the pro version: Access 2.0),1994
Office 95 (Word 95, etc.)
Office 97 (Word 97, etc.) - released January 1997
Office 2000 (Word 2000, etc.) - released June 1999
Office XP (Word 2002, etc.) - released June 2001
Office 2003 (Word 2003, etc.) - released October 21, 2003

Data from Wikipedia in Chinese:
Main versions include:

Office 4.0 (Word 5.0, etc.) 1992
Office 4.2 (Word 6.0, etc.) 1993
Office 95 (Word 95, etc.) 1995
Office 97 (Word 97, etc.) 1997 / Office 98 (for Mac)
Office 2000 (Word 2000, etc.) 1999 / Office 2001 (for Mac)
Office XP (Word 2002, etc.) 2001 / Office v.X (for Mac)
Office 2003 (released in Greater China in November 2003)

The above data are all as of May 30, 2004.

It can be seen that at the very beginning, the version numbers of the Chinese version of OFFICE 4.X and the original English version were not in one - to - one correspondence, and the release times were also different. Specific situations should be asked from M$!

To Wengier:
My software is an English original image file. I collected it in 1998. Please let me know if you need me to upload it.

Below is the quote of Kinglion's speech at 12:37:17 PM on May 30, 2004:
To Wengier:
My software is an English original image file. I collected it in 1998. Please let me know if you need me to upload it.

Thank you for your enthusiasm, but I wonder why you are still using a kitten to surf the Internet now?

From the data provided by the above Wikipedia, the internal versions of each program of the Chinese version of office 4.2 provided by kinglion are exactly the same as those of the English version of office 4.3 released in 1994. MS is very likely not to have released the simplified Chinese version of 4.3.

From my previous use of the English version of office 4.x, their support for Chinese is very poor. So I thought the English version of 4.3 by kinglion doesn't need to be uploaded. What do you think, Wengier?

The Chinese version of 4.2 provided by kinglion is very rare. There are only one or two places in China where it can be downloaded, and it can't be found by general large search engines. I can help you promote it, but ordinary people don't like this thing very much. But I have been looking for this program for more than a year! But no one responded.

Wengier's New DOS Era is very good, and it seems to be like brothers with the China DOS Union website. I have collected it. But it looks too stingy, not generous and not concise. You see, the websites of big companies or famous universities are very simple, and there are not many pictures. Some links can't be realized, maybe it's a bit messy, and it's difficult to manage, and this is not to be pursued.

I tried the DOS 7.1 CD ISO version with VIRTRUL PC, and it always crashed. I also tried it with MINI-WIN, and I couldn't boot to WIN 3.2, it crashed. But it can be used without emulation.

"The internal versions of this Chinese version of Office 4.2 provided by kinglion are exactly the same as the internal versions of each program of the English original Office 4.3 released in 1994"

As far as I know, taking Word as an example, although their major version numbers are the same, both are 6.0, but their minor version numbers are different. For example, the one included in 4.2 is Word 6.0b, while the one included in 4.3 is Word 6.0c, etc., with a little difference.

"From my previous use of the English version of Office 4.x, their support for Chinese was very poor. So I thought the English original version 4.3 of kinglion doesn't need to be uploaded. What do you think, Wengier?"

It's okay, especially if Kinglion is not convenient, there's no need to upload it.

Regarding Virtual PC, it has some compatibility issues by itself.

To Wengier:
I will upload the software when I get the chance. As for why I use "cat" to access the internet, you would understand if you knew where I am currently. I won't say it here for convenience. Hehe.
Or maybe one day when my QQ is online, I will find a broadband machine and send the software to you via QQ. How about that?

Yes, there are differences in the minor version numbers. Wengier's entire response is very good.

Regarding the problem that the Great Wall font disk27-30 cannot be installed in kinglion's version, actually there is no problem. Because when I installed it today, an error occurred that the disk1/_mstest.exe could not be read. It turned out that I needed to copy disk27-30 to the hard disk and rename them successively to disk1, disk2, disk3, disk4.

For this point, kinglion did not explain it clearly. This version is indeed 100% functional, and 100% can be installed and used!

Did everyone notice that Windows 3.11 for Workgroup is generally smoother than 3.2 Chinese in operation, but there is no Chinese support. Installing RichWin 4.21 is okay. But in Office 4.2, PPT 4.0 is not localized, and the Chinese support when using it in Windows 3.11 is very poor, and there is no such situation in Windows 3.2.

When it comes to Windows 2000 and Office 2000, the multi-language support is very good, and the English version can also display and handle Chinese very well.

kinglion, it can be closed now.

"As for why I use 'cat' to access the Internet, if you knew where I am currently, you would understand. I won't say it here because it's not convenient. Hehe.

kinglion, what exactly do you mean by this? Are you...?"
