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.

Systems Supported:

  • No Java or Net Framework needed.

Use Media:

  • Min: Internal or external 3.5" PC floppy diskette drive.
  • Suggested: If possible, one of my USB versions of this toolkit.

Bit level:

  • Min: 32bit. 64bit is fully supported by all tools. Some may require XP compatibility mode under 64bit windows Vista+.

CPU:

  • Min: Intel P55C 120mhz or AMD K6 233mhz with mmx CPU.
  • Suggested: 300mhz+ 32bit CPU, with mmx, or equilvent.

Ram:

  • Min: Under Windows 2000/FLPC, 64mb. Windows Vista+, 512mb.
  • Suggested: 1024mb or more.

Video memory:

  • Min: Any amount present on a video adapter supportting Windows 95 should do.
  • Suggested: 8mb, shared, or more.

Disk space:

  • Min: Aprox 1900kb, or 1.85mb.

Monitor:

  • Min: 640x480 VGA colour.
  • Suggested: 800x600+ with as many color your system supports.

OS's:

  • The last patch versions of Windows 2000 and Windows Fundamentals For Legacy PC's, are the minimun supported OS's, forward, to Windows 10. With both 32 and 64bit users supported.
  • That said, many tools will work on Windows 9x (Windows 95 to ME) and NT3.x/NT4.0, but the package is designed for Win32, or 32bit, NT5+.
