MY REQUEST: Does anyone have the 8/20/90 update of disk 5 of WordUp 3.0? I have the rest of the update, (disk 1) but my disk 5 got sent back from Louisiana (*not* Camarillo CA!) with my old drivers on it. If the upgrade is still on Genie, tell me where, I might have to join (or pay one of my friends to download it 8-). I would prefer it if someone could uuencode it and email it to me though. If you're worried about sending it, remember, it's ARCed with encription, (I checked, I hate the install program) - so I couldn't rip off poor (defunct??) Neocept if I wanted to, and nobody wants *just* printer drivers do they??? OTHER INFO: On a related note, E.Arthur Brown Co. sent me my Spectre GCR and a new flier. They can now sell Ataris by mail order. They also have closeouts of many Michtron products - also defunct now? I heard that Michtron's phone is disconnected, didn't try it myself. Three items stick in mind: Fleet Street Publisher 3.0 (funky, but includes built in UltraScript postscript emulation and support) for $70 and MasterCAD 3D (sp?) for $30, also Tempus (probably v2.07) for $20 to $30. EABCO is in Alexandria, Minnesota U.S.A., and will ship overseas (I checked once 8-). I'm not too sorry that I don't have their phone and address with me - I need to get in my order! Email me if you really can't find their address and phone. Happy close-outing - now you know why I finally got a GCR (the death of U.S. ST software firms + the Apple ROM scare 8-) I do hope that increased importation by dealers, rather than big distributors like Michtron was, will actually improve matters. You can buy Lattice C 5.06 and Turbo C (ST) from Joppa Computers in Maryland _now_. That's how I finally upgraded to an optimising ANSI C compiler (Lattice - cheaper and in English, supposed to be fast too! 8-). Bob Pegram Internet: pegram@griffin.uvm.edu UUCP: ... uvm-gen!pegram
