- I talked with the VP/programmer for Norwich Data Systems over a year ago.
- At that time, Plusworks did _not_ emulate the alternate zero page (or alt
- language card?) on the II+ and he had no intention of doing so at that time.
- Therefore enhancements like Timeout could not run. Because of the limited
- market for Plusworks, he didn't feel it was worth the effort. I doubt that
- has changed.
-
- The phone numbers you gave are the same ones I had from 1987. I think they
- were valid a couple years ago when Plusworks III came out. You could try
- writing to Richard Hajdu, 2 Jennifer Ct., Old Bridge, NJ 08857. The
- other address (PO Box 356, East Norwich, NY) was just a post office box
- checked on a weekly basis.
-
- Good luck.
