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...
