You need a special program (built into the AWP program to read it. Try Antic's Spell Magic. This WILL work for what you want to do. What was the Atari 400: I think it was all pretty much said except that Even with all the new high speed stuff out there, The ol' Atari 8-bit machines are still pretty amazing. I've had 8-bit Atari computers since '82 and I'm still finding new applications for it. As for languages, there are Atari BASIC, MS-BASIC, BASIC A+ Turbo BASIC XL, BASIC XL, BASIC XE, Lisp, Forth, Atari Assembler, MAC/65, Action!, Pilot, and many others that I can't remember off hand. BTW, Dataque should be nearing release of their new C: compiler. There are about 4 or 5 C: compilers and a few Pascal cimiplers out there too. Lots to choose from. [Doctor GIF] --- END MESSAGE ---
