[Coco] DriveWire 4 beta

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi,

OK, I will send the DECB ".dsk" with the program on.

It might be set up for 100 columns. I see a poke for 9600 Baud.

As it has been 22 years since I worked on the program I have no knowledge
what state it is in.

I found two programs using Windows Vista Wordpad to look at the disk.
I do not have yet set up Jeff's emulator on the laptop, I erased the HD and
reinstalled Win XP.
Perhaps after the Olympics are done I can get it running.


IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEM UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE PROGRAM IS DOING,
PLEASE STOP!!!

Your work on drivewire is much more important.


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If anyone else is willing to help please ask and I will send the disk.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLIST: 88/11/11 A MULTI COLUMN TEXT FILE LISTER. EPSON FX100+ PRINTER.
BLISTPR: 87/02/07 MULTI COLUMN PROGRAM LLISTER. EPSON FX100+ PRINTER.

The OS-9 version is more problematic, it is in several parts and the source
perhaps on several disks.
The running version has the Shell+ 2.1 script in a data module.
