Shari -
Enclosed are fourteen disks that should meet your needs for
software for your Morrow Micro Decision 2. They are the full
suite that originally came with those machines.
Each of the disks has had the write protect tab installed over
notch in the side of the disk jacket. I recommend that you leave
them in place and make working copies of each. You will be
prompted to do just that the first time you bring up the System
Disk. After you have made your working copies, put these away in
a safe place so that you can create replacements should you need
to.
Before you start take a look at the nameplate on the back of your
terminal and note the make and model. You will need that
information when you first start up, and when you install WordStar
also. I think that Personal Pearl will be OK. I tailored it as
much as I could without terminal information.
There are several pre-installed editions of WordStar on the disk.
They are called WS1, WS2, and WS3.COM, respectively. Try them out
and see which looks best on your terminal. Likely one will be OK.
If not, you will need to install WordStar.
Assuming that you have a printer, you will need to know the make
and model when you install WordStar. Most modern dot matrix
printers emulate the Epson, so that may be a good choice if yours
is a dot matrix type. As a general rule, if your printer is
listed choose that. If not try teletype-like or backspacing
teletype-like printer. You will also need to know whether it is
serial or parallel input. You will not go too far wrong if you
stay with the default values. At worst, you will have to install
it again with different values.
I would appreciate cash, check, or money order in the amount of
$15 to defray the costs of disks and mailing.
If you have any problems, give me a call. Perhaps I can help.
