Floppy Prob's and Write Now 4.0



Hey y'all,

        Sorry about the student rate comment...

        I've found that i can get floppies to more often work than not if i
format them using the dos version of MactoDos, but it still doesm't always work.

        Write Now 4.0, a very small bu rather full-featured word processor
for the Mac runs under Executor/DOS 1.99b execept for a few things:
               
        Can't be started first, must run something then run Write Now
                
        Mouse dissappears when you begin typing, then reappears when a
dialouge         box is used, then doesn't dissappear anymore. 

        Making text a different color works, but changing the color of a table
        frezzes Executor and requires a reset :(

        Other than that it seems to run fine and is an acceptable
alternative to MS Word.  Especially if you do not need a very heavy duty WP.

        Speedometer 4.0 works but returns massivly incorrect benchmarks.

        My setup is a 486sx33, 6MB RAM:  i run with the following switches

                -nosplash -applzone 3072 -macbpp 8 -realbpp 8

        Hope this helps, i'll be trying out more software soon, just need
that floppy to be reliable...
