I have a IBM PC with two 320kb disk drives,256k and a monochrome screen. I have been having a problem with Wordstar. In the middle of everything the screen goes blank and on the top left hand corner of the screen it says parity check 1 . The only way to get rid of this is to turn of the computer. HELP!!!!!!!!! It usually happens when I am editing an already made file. Could it be a bad copy of Wordstar or is it the machine. What does parity check 1 mean anyway???????? I will appreciate any advice on the matter. Thank you in advance, yitz twersky P.S. please send all responses to [user twersky at aecom] ---

[] Would someone knowing what parity check 1 is please either send me a response or post it to the net. I encountered the same problem running the Lotus 1-2-3 tutorial, seemingly while it was doing a disk read. -- Don Wilson ...ihnp4!ihlts!dew AT&T-Bell Labs IH 5B-411 (312) 979-4105 Naperville, IL 60566
