Description:

DMF Floppy Office, an "Office Suite" designed to fit on a DMF formatted 3.5" 2HD floppy diskette.

• That being a 1680kb windows formatted 2HD 3.5" floppy diskette.

My goal was to extend, improve and update the former the FloppyOffice v4.0 package, from 2003, to a more “full featured” toolkit, while retaining the “Fully Portable” packaging.

Using “Small is beautiful”, with a "Plus the kitchen sink" mindset, design philosophy; that being: attempt to be as inclusive as possible, being respectful to disk space and resource use.

• The original FloppyOffice v4.0 package, created by Xtort.net, was a small, portable productivity software suite which offers a collection of unique standalone free software applications.
• FloppyOffice v4.0, the last release, was last updated, in its floppy version, in 2004. Its authors website has been offline from atleast mid-2016.

If you find yourself working on different "older" machines and need portable software you can access, hassle-free, from any computer's 3.5" floppy drive, then this is the package for you.
