(I think it was 95.) It was       basically 95 (?) with patches, so in effect Office 98 or whatever year       we'd got to; I bought it as a CD at a computer fair. Seemed to be a       genuine Microsoft product, but I'm pretty sure not supposed to be sold       separately - intended for sale with a PC, or something like that. The CD       had a lot of purple on the "label", and the word Burgundy appeared - I       can't remember whether in how the product identified itself, or just on       the CD "label".              (Was Savoy Linux the Ritz of distros?)                     --        J.
