[Coco] Re: FLEX+ runs on a COCO3

[Richard E. Crislip]

Hello John

Well just for giggles I downloaded it again and installed it on my trusty
ole A4000 and keyed in a basic (no pun intended) basic program that used a
for/next loop to print incrementing numbers from 0 to 100. Of course since
its disks were virtual, it all died when I shut it down. There probably is
a way to perminatly save data, but as I said already, ole father time
refuses to leave me alone.

If you want I can forward a copy to you. I haven't tried it yet, but I'd bet
a dollar to a doughnut that it would work with WinUAE. WinUAE is an Amiga
emulator that runs on Windows and just plain UAE runs on Linux. So there
are options if you care to explore them.
