PC PipeDream is the word processor that was running on good old MS DOS. It did the same things as when using the similar application on the Cambridge Z88 portable computer - but with a lot more spreadsheet functionality and with an optional spellchecker. A similiar version of this application was also available on the BBC Micro computer for the british educational market.
PC PipeDream is still a useful tool to work on your transferred PipeDream documents, post-processed on your modern power-desktop such as Windows XP and newer, MAC OS X and Linux systems. How is that possible, when PC PipeDream is a DOS application? The answer is through virtualisation. The screenshot below comes from a running PC PipeDream on a Windows 8 deskop.
This space will provide details about how you can use PC PipeDream as a companion to your Cambridge Z88 portable computer, on any desktop that can do MS DOS virtualisation.
