Pretty sure that weird office suite you were using was the Andrew User Interface System from CMU. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~AUIS/

I remember giving that a try for a while on Slackware in the mid 90’s, but it didn’t really stick.

I love the opening line: "sources for andrew-8.0 are now available (and in tarred-compressed form). However, they have not been completely tested" - and the linked files are timestamped 1997.

Snark aside, it is genuinely heartening to see decades-old web pages still up and (mostly) working.
