Alun: The "WordStar customization notes" are definitely *NOT* public domain. MicroPro is asking for (or was at one time) something like $495 for them. I have a copy that my office bought - they ain't even near worth it. On the other hand, what I think you are looking for *is* available - a list of all the patch points. With the cursory info that in the manual, most any compentent (read "not timid") can change W* to his liking. The copy that I last worked on is in simtel20, micro:<cpm.wstar>ws30pat.pts or somthing like that. (my list of filenames is elsewhere at the moment.) There is address changes between the W* version 3.0 and 3.3, but the labels have not changed! The patch point lists contains both the absolute addresses and the labels. So be carefull. The built-in W* patcher can be accessed in W* 3.3 by giving a '+' to the main configuration menu of the W* installer. It is not on the menu. -bob bloom

Just a note of addition: Micropro has dropped the cost of WS customization notes from $495 to $25. They finally wised up. Charles Lord cjl@ecsvax.UUCP
