I'm posting this for a freind of mine on BITNET having trouble posting from his end. Try e-mail to him directly first, but I'll relay if need be. Conrad Payne payne@bgsuvax.UUCP ********************************************************************* Does anybody out ther know why Norton Editor will not run on Toshiba laptops? (at least not the T1000 or the T1200). I've been thinking about buying Brief. Does anybody know if Brief will run on the Toshibas? Any comments on Brief in general? On the Toshibas in general?

I posted a description of how the Toshiba laptop keyboards messed up a program I wrote; this may be another example. If the Norton editor uses either shift key in combination with the arrow keys, PgUp, PgDn, Home or End then the keyboard clobbers the action. The offending codes can be trapped, but you must have the source code to do it. We call this "upward compatibility." -- Ed Nather Astronomy Dept, U of Texas @ Austin
