- Just add the new PFS:Write, according to a mailing I got from
- TigerSoftware offering it with a bunch of extras for $49.95. All it
- supposedly requires is 640K of RAM and a hard disk, on a PC, XT, AT or
- compatible. No Windows required.
-
- According to further info I got on the phone, it won't do WYSIWYG on
- Hercules monochrome, but it will do it on CGA or better.
