Hi,
The following file has been added to simtel20:
Filename Type Bytes CRC
Directory MICRO:<CPM.WSTAR>
NECWSOVR.AQM.1 COM 13312 B6C6H
This file is an overlay-style patch file for WordStar 3.0. It defines
terminal control sequences for a NEC PC-8001 with color monitor,
redefines some WordStar control keys, lowers the help level and delay
times, and defines user commands (^Q, ^W, ^E, and ^R) and control
sequences for a NEC PC-8023A dot-matrix printer. A custom printer
driver allows you to make use of the printer's Greek, mathematical, and
half-height superscript characters. True super/sub-scripts have also
been added (sorry, no proportional printing yet).
The file is written in 8080 mnemonics and will assemble correctly with
ASM or MAC. It is heavily commented so that you can delete sections
which don't apply to your configuration and modify what is left. For
non-NEC owners, the 8023 is basically the same as the C.Itoh Prowriter
and Apple dot-matrix printers, so you should be able to adapt the
print routine.
The overlay does not change the size of WS.COM, but it does overwrite
sections with the new printer driver and Greek table.
