[comp.sys.atari.8bit] port pinouts wanted, Richmans question

wilmott@topaz.rutgers.edu (Ray Wilmott) (02/23/90)

----

1. Could someone please post (or e-mail) a pinout description
of the joystick ports? (I know I've seen it posted before, but
of course now that I actually need it, I can't find it).

2. Has anyone used the Richmans Word Processor? (supposedly a
fairly well featured 80-column via software word processor).
Any comments on how good/bad it is?

Thanks in advance for any replies...
