I have been reading this group for sometime now and have seen no mention of some of the machines I have, particularly the Microwriter Agenda and the Sinclair Z88. I would like to ask a few questions ? 1. Are there any archives of software for either of these machines on the Net ? Are people interested in the spec of these machines (both British) ? 2. What is so the spec of the HP48 that everybody seems to be chating about ? 3. As far your concerned what is currently the best handheld and why ? (mail the reply to 2 and/or 3 directly to me). If I get enough information I will summarise to the Net when time permits with a list machines their spec and a league table of voting. thanks, Greg Newton-Ingham Greg@sys.uea.ac.uk #include <usual disclaimers>

Greg Newton-Ingham asks about the z88: While I don't have a Z88 I did run across the following: Send mail to: archive-server@sun.soe.clarkson.edu with the message "help" for information. On that machine there is a z88 archive. The help reply will give you instructions. Specifically for the z88 send "index z88" z88/Index -------------------- cut here -------------------- games: yahtz88.doc kingdom.bas yahtz88.bas catapill.bas bomber.bas wizard.doc wizard.cli maxit.cli z88tools.cli graphics for basic: patch2.doc patch2.bas star.bas patchdem.bas sound2.bas sound.doc graphall.bas house.bas patpcw.inf pat2pcw.bas info: fido.msg spelmstr.doc sharps.doc openup.doc cable.doc basic.doc z88.bbs uk.bbs z88-dos.doc prthex.doc makechar.doc linegrph.doc keycode.doc util: z88zfu.pd z88zfu.bas romdp5.cli epload.cli epload.bas ep-cat.bas crdfil.inf tabflt.cli crdfil.bas crdfil.doc fadder.cli sender.cli romdmp.doc addlf.cli llist.cli filcmp.cli epcat.cli disz88.doc disz88.bas outline.pd template.otl decide.cli finance.cli z88com.zoo I hope this helps.

I have been reading this group for sometime now and have seen no mention of
some of the machines I have, particularly the Microwriter Agenda and the
Sinclair Z88.
I would like to ask a few questions ?
1.Are there any archives of software for either of these machines on the Net ?
Are people interested in the spec of these machines (both British) ?
2. What is so the spec of the HP48 that everybody seems to be chating about ?
3. As far your concerned what is currently the best handheld and why ?
(mail the reply to 2 and/or 3 directly to me).
If I get enough information I will summarise to the Net when time permits with
a list machines their spec and a league table of voting.
thanks, Greg Newton-Ingham
