[comp.sys.mac] MacWrite patch for MacII?

harrow@exodus.dec.com (Jeff Harrow, NCSE BXB1-2/E02 DTN=293-5128) (05/22/87)

Several people have indicated that Levco has offered a patch to MacWrite
so that it will work on their Prodigy.

Isn't that the same (from MacWrite's problem standpoint) as the MacII?

If so, can someone post the patch for us (soon) MacIIers?

Thanks!

Well, there is a software patch out now for MacWrite to enable it to work
on a 68020 based machine.  It does work with the Mac II, whether it works
with a Levco Prodigy, I'm not sure, but it should.

I believe it's archived as INIT-WRITEFIX-10 at SUMAX and also at PUCC
as well as other places which I don't know about.  :)

Hope that helps....
