- 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...
