I have some old MacWrite Pro files. What's the best way to open them? I can
open them in a basic text editor and get the gist of what they say, but I'd
like to see the text as it was saved.

Is there any emulator or something which can run MacWrite Pro? I have VM
Fusion, but I don't think it will run an OS old enough to support MWP.

I’ve seen that LibreOffice (and maybe other StarOffice descendants) will
open MWP files.

Basilisk II is runnning System 7.5.3 very nicely here on an M1 Air. Would that
do it?

I've just installed MacWrite Pro (anything but work) and... well, it runs!
