Hi, A friend of mine bought a Tandy 2000 a while ago and now I want to do some work for him but nothing runs on his machine except the software he originally had (Multiplan, Open Access). I'm trying to get VP-Info, VP_Planner and PC-Write working for him but nothing works. I've determined that one major problem is the location of the screen memory (screws up most programs). PC-Write can be configured to a different base address but I didn't get very far trying this out. What can be done to improve the compatibility or does he have to bite the bullet and get a true clone? Any thoughts or information about this mutant machine would be appreciated. Thanks in Advance, Bruce Wilson mgardi@watdcsu "Watch out for that tree!!!!"

Most programs have a version that will run on The Tandy 2000.
I know PC-wright does, I don't know about VP,
Now the 2000 is out now and I don't expect a large degree of
support to continue.
