Hello Out there, once again... I'm looking for some people having experience with WordPerfect 5.0 on Unix, especially on terminals supported, printers supported, graphics inclusion and interfacing to a PC-WP5.0 version (read PC-texts,-graphics etc). I also would like to know, if the whole functionality of the PC-Version is provided. The last thing I'd like to know, is whether WPCorp has an e-mail address for posting questions to. Please Reply via e-mail, using the paths in my signature. Thx Mathias PS: please send me a short mail when you read this, even if you have no answer, because I don't seen to be able to post to this newsgroup. I tried three times before and never got a reply. Thx -- -Mathias Koerber |Tel: +65 / 7473828 ext 431 |Fax: +65 / 7474331 -Nixdorf Computer Singapore|EUnet: koerber.sin@nixpbe |nerv: koerber.sin -2 Kallang Sector |uunet: uunet!linus!nixbur!koerber.sin -Singapore 1334 |[Standard-disclaimer:All views personal... ]

Has anyone yet written a WordPerfect 5.0 (XENIX) terminal definition for the Tandy DT100 ? It seems that WPCorp, in their inifinite wisdom, released 5.0 with support for only a handful of terminals (as opposed to the NLA 4.2, which used up MUCH less memory and supported hundreds of terminals). I sat down with the skimpy DT100 manual and tried to create the definition, but there were too many holes. Responses via email would be greatly appreciated. -- < Alan H.

You mean you DON'T consider a 1.7meg executeable small. :-) > >I sat down with the skimpy DT100 manual and tried to create the definition, >but there were too many holes. I had a client on 4.2 and converted to 5.0. The utilities on 5 don't seem to be the same as 4.2, but I copied a terminal def or two, and modified or renamed them under 4.2. I then copied these over to 5. As to the DT100 - tell the system that it's a Wyse75 and you should be in good shape. (or was that a Wyse85). The DT100 is just a rebranded Wysexx. -- Bill Vermillion - UUCP: uunet!tarpit!bilver!bill : bill@bilver.UUCP
