From: Keith Petersen <W8SDZ@Simtel20.ARPA>
WSFAST15.SUB is now available on SIMTEL20. WSFAST11.SUB was the first
released version of this package. It was originally written by
Steve Sanders to correct the annoying problem with slow sign-on of
WordStar ver. 3.3. It has been enhanced and modified by adding
routines to eliminate the first two screens completely, allow the
printing of one document while editing another, and, optionally,
signing on the the B: drive at startup.
The new files are:
Filename Type Bytes Sectors CRC
Directory MICRO:<CPM.WSTAR>
WSFAST15.DOC.1 ASCII 4848 38 = 26H D56DH
WSFAST15.SUB.1 ASCII 5391 43 = 2BH DE7BH
WSLSTPAT.HEX.1 ASCII 100 1 = 1H 48DEH
