No, that was GEOS for Commodore 64. Geoworks was the PC-version 
done by the same people which was very modular, written in assembler,
had a very good multitasking and fit on 5 floppy disks (including 
an advanced textprocessor, a graphics-tool, a spreadsheet etc ...).
You were able to do nice DTP with it on an XT w/ 640 kB of RAM 
with _REAL_ WYSIWYG (long before the same was possible in Windows).
