Howdy!
I am looking for people using Apple CP/M who have actually PAID (Yes,
PAID) MicroPro for WordStar v.4, CP/M edition. I am asking because
MicroPro has basically shafted me.... I paid $94 dollars to upgrade to
the new software, and it is unuseable on my system (//+ with a
StarCard and a generic 80-column card). This is extremely unusual
because the old WordStar (v.3.33) worked perfectly.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Send E-mail, and
if I get enough responses, I'll summarize.

Jonathan - I did the same as you and purchased the upgrade deal. I also
have a similar system to yours (a ][+, a Starcard and a generic (Videoterm
compatible 80-col card). I had a minor problem getting it to work, I had
trouble with the Erase to End of Line code, but it now seems to work.
Now I come to think of it, I have not installed the printer yet, so I don't
know whether there is any problem there. I bought the Apple specific version
and I also know someone who bought the generic CP/M version and patched it
to work with the Applicard/Starcard. What specific problems are you having?
