1. What's the difference between a Commodore 2002 and a Commodore 1084
monitor? Can a 2002 be used on a C-128?
2. Is there a known problem with the 1581 disk drive and GEOS-128 v. 1.4?
After I write to a disk for a while, GEOS starts getting disk errors
("Missing or unformatted disk," I think), and GEOS can not write to that
disk any longer, although it can still read it.
3. Is there any printer driver in GEOS-128 v. 1.4 that emits the proper
escape sequences for a Star Gemini II printer? I can't get GEOWrite
to switch automatically to NLQ mode or to underline properly.
4. Is there a vi-like editor for the C-128?
5. What choice of modem on the GEOS Quantum Link disk will work with a
Volksmodem 6480 (1200 baud)?

You've just hit upon one of the (many) projects that I've been considering.. a 128 vi-like editor..what I'd thought about was a form of terminal program that would be like an auto-poster...something that would let you compose news articles offline then log on and (using rn) automatically post them to the net to the proper newsgroups..this could also go with a possibility of writing mail too (and a choice of using mailx, mail, elm, smail, mush, and the zillions of others)..how feasable do you guys think such a thing would be? > Joe Haggerty > AT&T Bell Laboratories, Whippany, New Jersey > attunix![cbnewsl|whamr]!jph (that's cbnewsL) -- Brendan Kehoe brendan@cup.portal.com | GEnie: B.KEHOE | Oh no!

Oh, this sounds like a truly spendid idea. Maybe we can find some source code and port it using Power C? But for feasability... If Power C will compile a mailer or editor like those mentioned, it shouldn't be too hard. But I can't seem to find any access to the "RS-232" port in the manual. Hmm... >-- >Brendan Kehoe >brendan@cup.portal.com | GEnie: B.KEHOE | Oh no!
