>I don't have it in front of me, but the current Open Apple (came in our >mail, perhaps by dog-sled, yesterday) has a letter (?Randy Brandt) stating >that AppleWorks 2.0 is already 16 bit. Specificall, the SEG.XXX file used >by the ][gs is 16 bit. The letter also indicated which SEG.XXX was used >for what purpose, allowing one to delete (from a copy, of course) those >that are not needed on a particular system disk. I saw that too, BUT only part of the program (the I/O interface) is in 16 bit code (that's not too helpful). A full 16-bit implementation would lead to MUCH improved spreadsheet recalcs, data base sorts, and word processor replacing (Weishaar's editorial comments after Brandt's letter also are worth the reading). --------------------- ARPA: sewall%uconnvm.bitnet@cunyvm.cuny.edu Murphy A.

I followed Randy Brandt's information, and removed SEG.RM and SEG.XM from an AppleWorks 2.0 System disk designed to use on a ][e with RamWorks III. There seemed to be no ill effects. AppleWorks, including all the TimeOut enhancements I have so far (Filemaster and Graph haven't come yet), continue to work just fine. ****DISCLAMER: My comments, etc., are my own shakey opinions ******** | Bruce P.
