Baskin) Subject: Floppy Prob's and Write Now 4.0 Sender: Executor-Owner@nacm.com Precedence: bulk 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...
