Someone on the Classic Macs mailing list probably knows somewhere.  You
might have a look at Jag's House which doesn't have those applications
as I recall but might either have something else that'll be useful or a
useful link:

Unless you *need* Word & Excel, why not just run ClarisWorks?

- ClarisWorks 4 is happy in only 1.4 megs of RAM.

Alan,

Thanks for the advice.  I would really like to use Claris 4 but
unfortunately, because of my job, I *have* to use Ms applications
(against my better judgement!)

From memory, they run very slowly.
I also have an educated distrust of all Microsoft applications
for the Macintosh with the possible exception of IE.

Do you actually need to run them or just read and write files in
those formats ?  ClarisWorks is far smaller, cheaper, faster, and
reads and writes files in both those formats.
