I wish WriteNow was similarly available/supported --- it was probably one of the last major applications written in assembly language (~100,000 lines).

XyWrite is supported in a similar fashion: https://mendelson.org/xywin.html (but I just helped folks use that, never actually found it comfortable myself).

I kind of wish all these small/tight/efficient programs could be gathered up and ported to an optimized OS for the Raspberry Pi....

It's too bad the architecture is different, a Raspberry Pi compatible with peak Win98SE software would be an amazing low-power computer.

There were tons of amazingly well-made commercial software packages that have just been lost to time; in a large part due to open-source and other free options getting "good enough" - but many had features that simply don't exist anymore.

I used to run Wordstar 2.0 under Wine, and it was smooth. 3d Museum, Dancing Hearts, etc. will 'just work'.

That Raspberry probably can run all the peak Win98SE stuff, today.
