Microsoft Office compatible with 32MB of RAM

[Titan12022]

I have a computer with 32MB of memory, I need something that will load and save Microsoft Office documents at this low memory limit. (200Mhz Processor)

Open Office . org provides about the only well qualified M$ Office compatible file read/write engine. It runs in X Windows. X Requires 32MB itself - easily.

You may want to state your requirement more clearly.

Otherwise you may need to pony up the $29 and get yourself more RAM.

I've got a Pentium-MMX 200Mhz with 128MB RAM. X+Gnome+OpenOffice are as slow as 'ell although X+OpenOffice was somewhat better. I would really advise you to forget it if you don't at least have 256MB in your box.

MS Office 4 worked fine on 16MB or less.
Of course you'd be limited to rather old format MS Office documents but as you give no version restrictions that should be no problem

Technically I also forgot a smart-ass answer.

Perl (and perhaps Python) can write Excel and Word files using the correct modules!

Sorry for the smart-ass answer.

MS Office 4 worked fine on 16MB or less. And wordstar runs with 640KB or less, but who care.
