Introduction

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.
