Even Word's "reveal codes" function isn't as useful as WordPerfect's "reveal
codes"

Conversion? To what? Why?

My wife still insists on using WP 5.1 - and then I have to do the conversion 
to enable docs to be emailed, etc !
But she has one major point, the ease of searching the directory and the 
one-click viewer of any file.  Would that newer editors followed that lead.

Re: Question about REX

Hi Ron,
REX is limited to the signals on the option rom socket, and IO/M is
not there, so REX can't see CPU IOs happening.  Also, it has no RAM,
only flash, so REX just can't do it.

Sorry- Steve

Re: Windows: Why I don't run Linux on my PCs

Paul,

WordPerfect 5.1 is one of the few packages that can be read by darn near
anything, including OpenOffice, without major conversion.

If you want a newer version with a better document format, the last DOS
version is buried on the Corel WordPerfect 7 CD.  You can find that on eBay
for a pittance.

One of my customers is a law firm.  They have to use WordPerfect, as the US
legal system will not change (US DOJ has 20,000+ WordPerfect seats licensed)
for many reasons, mostly having to do with the fact that Microsoft Word
can't keep proper document rendering between supposedly compatible versions
correct, let alone competing products.

WordPerfect14 allows you to open/save as PDF from the window.  It's also
incredibly quick, and has a user interface option for a WP5.1-like
interface.

At the least, do her a favor and try and dig up the last DOS version so she
can save to a newer WP format, or get her WPO14 to give her the user
interface she likes, along with the ability to save as PDF so you do not
have to do conversions.

M100/102 and NEC Cassette Cables WAS Re: I hear the list is not working...

I got two bounces super-early this morning, and my msg still never went through, apparently.

To repeat what I sent:

Looking at the pinouts, it looks to me as though the CoCo 1/2/3 and
M100/M102 use the same cable,
as the pinouts are the same, as well as the Tano Dragon...

Correct?

If so, I looked at the pinout in a file Gary has for the NEC, and it LOOKS
as though the same cable can be used, except no remote, and the plugs 
need to be reverse, ie, the red normally going to MIC goes to EAR, and 
the normally to EAR goes to MIC. Remote looks unusable, as it's on 
different pins than what the Tandy's use.

Look/Sound correct?
