Hello ATARI, Does Syncalc know the difference between an 800XL and a 130XE? Would I get faster execution on the XE or a bigger spreadsheet? Same question for ATARIWRITER. Thanks. ihnp4!inuxa!rmrin -- You are Beautiful, Dick Rickert my manufactured love;- AT&T CPL but it is only Svengali, Indy, IN talking to himself again. Reward is its own virtue!

The 130xe version of Syncalc gives you more cells, than the older
version. The 130xe version can run an the older machines.

I can't speak about SynCalc, but AtariWriter+ most definitely knows the difference between the 800XL and the 130XE. The disk on which AW+ is shipped contains the 800XL version on one side and the 130XE on the other. The 130XE version, according to the manual, uses the bank switching facilities of the XE to give you 3 buffers of ~15K characters each, as opposed to the ~12K buffer you get on the 800XL. - Rick -------- Rick Genter BBN Laboratories Inc.
