I read in the E. Arthur Brown catalog (612) 762-8847 about a product called ZKEYs interface. "Our new ZKEYs interface allows you to connect an IBM PC/XT/AT compatible keyboard to your Atari St." No soldering. The Atari and IBM keyboards will simultaneously be fully functional. When I use gulam, I use the emacs command editing. Is there a way of preventing the cursor from bouncing? Can I use Revolver to save a game to my harddrive and continue the game later? Is Switchback the only product for the ST that will do this? Thank You, Gregory Gibson

Omni-res uses a Shift-Alt-Help combination to change screen resolutions and thus you can not change resolutions because Revolver steals teh interrupt before the Help key is pressed. But it works. the only thing I have found that doesn't work with Revolver OUTRIGHT is WordUp 3.0!! It must be something with how WordUp uses high end memory to store fonts. It must go over revolvers head and use the memory even though it is in another memory partition, thus crashing before it even lets you load a document. Very depressing consitering how long it takes to load WordUp, it would be nice to have it _right_There_ via Revolver.. But alas, no. I know nothing of how switchback works. Hope this is helpfull. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- David M.
