Subject: TVX, Wordstar for C128, New BIOS for C128

In response to Mr. Fleig and Mr. Pierson:

1. I believe [SIMTEL20] PD:<MSDOS.TVX-EDITOR> is the latest (with EMACS
   emulation) version of TVX.  If not, it certainly is more recent than the
   C128 compatible version.  No doubt much fatter too.

2. Wordstar printing slowness on C128: It doesn't go slow on my 128 and
   printer.  I followed the recommendations on speedup in file [SIMTEL20]
   PD:<CPM.C128>WORDSTAR.IQF (squeezed).  Perhaps, elimination of the delays
   as indicated therein also helps the printer, I dunno.  But my Blue-Chip
   printer buffer (4K) gets filled up faster than it can empty.  It may have
   to do with the fact that Wordstar trys to service the printer while also
   letting you edit - cutting the editing delays down probably speeds up the
   printer.  Try the patches in WORDSTAR.IQF and see if they don't help.

3. New C128 BIOS.  The file [SIMTEL20] PD:<CPM.C128>C128-NEW.IRV contains the
   instructions for "getting it down", this assuming you have a modem and some
   software to transfer files (xmodem or kermit) from your host to the 128 in
   either 128 or 64 mode.  If you don't have this, you're not ready for
   running a modem from CP/M anyway.

Sincerely,
Frank Prindle
