I think the problem with tabbing is most likely caused by your 80-column card. As far as I know, 80-column cards (the ones I've used) do not respond to the Tab ^I character for some reason. A program like Ascii Express has an option to have the tabs expanded in software, before they get to the 80-column card. I've never had any experience with Softerm myself, but you might try to find such an option.

Microsoft would only guarantee that CPM60 will work with a Microsoft RAMCard, or an Apple Language card (unless of course you have an Apple //e.)

Subject: Terminal Emulation Software
I have a request concerning the Softerm and Softerm 2. Is there some mail-
order place where one can buy it? I haven't ever seen it in a store, or
even listed in an add for some store. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, Corvus still makes hard disks for the Apple. A friend of mine got
a 20Mb hard disk from them around the end of May.. He has a Backup system
that apparently uses a VCR (which is something I'd never heard of before
for backup). Corvus is indeed in Mountain View. I could look up the
address if you really want it.

Has anybody actually heard anything from the company itself about what happened? It's all rather annoying not hearing anything from them. Looking back at the issues of Softalk since December '83, I look now and wonder how I didn't notice that something was wrong in North Hollywood, Ca. The issues had consistenly gotten smaller from their longest in Dec. 83, to their smallest (and last), in Aug. '84. Oh well.

Date: 3 October 1984, 14:06:17 PST From: KJBSF at SLACVM To: INFO-APPLE at BRL.ARPA Subject: Apple Computer It appears that Apple is trying to eventually phase out the Apple //e; they recently raised the price of the //e, while dropping the price of the //c. They also discontinued the "Packaged dial" apple //e, with a disk drive and monitor. Also, the rumor about apple buying all the advertising space in the Election week issue of Newsweek is true, according to Infoworld. First time it's ever happened.

From: David Neves <neves%wisc-ai.uwisc@WISC-CRYS.ARPA> Apple is *not* phasing out the //e (as far as most people know). They raised the price (according to Infoworld?) because they were selling too many //e's and couldn't keep up with demand. The important Christmas season is coming up. They had excess capacity for the //c so they lowered its price and increased the //e price (by not selling a system) to better balance the load on their production facilities.
