- Unfortunately NO. There was much discussion last year on GEnie about this.
- WordUp does not print with TT's or SST equipped STs. I do not remember anyone
- saying whether or not it worked with any of Jim Allens 68030 accelerators.
- Dave Small started looking into it, but stopped due to the accident that
- nearly killed his child.
-
- My only solution has been to connect my printer to my ST and print there.
- It does have the advantage of not tying up the TT while printing.
-
- Sorry for the bad news. I'll send Dave Small a message tonight and try
- and find out if he is still working on this problem. Atari, who purchased
- the source of WordUp, is not planning on releasing an upgrade. Rumor has
- it WordUp is the base of their new word processor.
