They told me last summer that it has some 'internal hack' that they DID NOT support.... Sounds like that company is getting to big for its britches... Have you had good luck with RAINBOW.OBJ?

Sounds like that company is getting to DS> big for its britches... Strange; RAINBOW.OBJ is on the Clipper PLINK and UTILITIES diskette, and it's listed in the READ_ME.1ST file on System Disk 1 and described as "Driver module for the DEC Rainbow". Do you suppose nobody reads the stuff they put out at Nantucket? DS> Have you had good luck with RAINBOW.OBJ? I have had mixed luck... The programs I have written all run OK on the Rainbow. Main drawback is that you have to use the CP/M-86 type cursor control (CTRL-X, etc). --- msged 1.99L MSC * Origin: Silver Bullet - Silver Spring, Maryland - 301-622-2247 (1:109/123) --- Via PCBGate v2.0a5
