I have used FinePrint to print out the whole manual, and found the WP
section. If the old mapping file is found it may be worth posting at
Kemit. I expect that the Transcribers will all hit this at some
point(?). Especially when the old version of ProComm(s) flake out.
Pretty sure it will not run in XP and I haven't tried it on my Win2K
machine.
Thanks

(BTW the existing WP emulation works well enough to make corrections
to the server copy, and apparently they mostly work on WP locally and
then up-load the files. Kermit up-loads fine as is......)
