GoKawiilMicrosoft Word for Windows 1.1a - Native x64 Port
This project is a fully working native Windows x64 port of Microsoft Word for Windows 1.1a, whose historical codename was Opus. It builds the original Word source and resources together with modern replacements for the 16-bit assembly, segmented-memory, and Win16 platform boundaries.
The result is the original Word application and user experience running as a 64-bit Windows executable. This is not an emulator or a reimplementation using a modern editor control.
Requirements
64-bit Windows
Visual Studio 2022 with Desktop development with C++
A Windows 10 or Windows 11 SDK installed through Visual Studio
CMake 3.25 or newer
