I have this old 286 (IBM PS/1)... not the computer I'm using for work (this
one is P200MMX), but just for fooling around. It used to run MS-DOS 5 and
Windows 3.0, but I'm making it totally MS free.
I have now disks to boot it to FreeDOS or IBM DOS 4 (it came with it) and
GEOS 1.6 installed, but GEOS 1.6 is lacking programs like GeoDraw and
anyway I'd like to get a newer version.
I would be very thankful if someone could point where I can download
different versions of PC GEOS.

It's not freely downloadable anywhere, but Breadbox has two versions for
sale, a few copies of NewDeal Office 2000, and through their
distributors, Breadbox Ensemble. Check:
http://www.breadbox.com
http://www.sun2k.com/Software.htm
And for add-on GEOS software (mostly free and shareware), check Två Katter:

Hi,
Try this URL for the lastest -
If they still have some packages of NewDeal Office 2000?
If not, try their Breadbox Ensemble product.

Would one have to buy both the School suite and the office to get all
the programs? It seems that the office doesn't have the NewDraw,
according to the images of the backs of those two packages.

You can get Breadbox Ensemble for under $100 (Great Price, huh?) at this
site.
http://www.sun2k.com/Software.htm
Oooops, they seem to list a 386 as the minimum requirement for BBOX
Ensemble, and you have a 286. Not to say it wouldn't work, but I would
perhaps try to find a good deal on a less bloated version of GEOS on EBAY or
just keep enjoying good ole DOS.
They also sell inflatable computer furniture for your office. One stop
shopping. Can't beat that.

SchoolSuite is identical to Office, save for the splash screen (of course :-) )
and the addition of school-oriented templates for the four major applications

SchoolSuite is missing some applications that are for home use, e.g.
banker.
But it has the additional templates.

Take a class. Read a book. Don't expect computers to be simple, because
they are not.

Interesting. I didn't now that there was a version 1.6. I only know 1.2
and 2.0.
And 1.2 did have GeoDraw. New in 2.0 was GeoCalc (spreadsheet) and
GeoFile, as well as a major redesign of the UI (tool buttons in all
applications, graphics layer for GeoWrite, multi-style-fonts)
The actual version is either NewDeal Office 2000 (available at
http://www.breadbox.com, only limited number as the copies are from a
buyout at NewDeal, the company which has developed GEOS beyond 2.0) and
Breadbox Office (available at http://www.sun2k.com as reseller, not
directly sold by breadbox) which is based on code older thant NewDeal
pffice 2000, but with newer internet applications than there.
You have the choice :)
And if one is feeling affluent, could one install Office 2000, and the
newer internet applications from Breadbox Office?

Won't work. Breadbox Ensemble is compiled to use 32bit registers in C code
(such as the internet apps), but NDO only saves 16bit registers when task
switching. So, it won't work.

Thanks Ed.
You kept me from doing something dumb....
