![]() If one were to open Desktop you would find three icons, beginners, intermediate, and advanced. I didn't have the basic program which was PC/GEOS Desktop but the three programs, Designer, Publisher, and Writer, were stand alone and contained most of the features that Desktop had. I attended a computer trade show and won three packages of GeoWorks from IBM. It was finally laid to rest by Breadbox Computers in Africa who, in the end, were writing add on programs for it.Īt that time I was working in a computer store and dabbling with the new DR DOS and Windows 3, but still working with DOS. GeoWorks was later distributed by Ensemble Inc., and then New Deal. Originally distributed by Creative Micro Designs Inc. PC/GEOS, Geos stood for Graphic Environment Operating System, was originally designed by Berkeley Software. ![]() ![]() Now, I wonder where OS/2 got the name `Warp', or is that just coincidence? GeoWorks also designed a `Warp' version to be used by Commodore. GeoWorks was designed to run on any OS DOS, DR DOS, OS/2, or Linux. IBM, Pal, and Tandy computers used it as their OS (operating system) although, like Windows, it still worked over DOS. It set me to wondering, whatever happened to that program which came before Windows and after Macintosh. I often hear that Windows was developed from Macintosh but no one ever mentions GeoWorks.
