Could you point me at CP/M and DOS Runoff, please? Any serious documents I
do are done initially in RUNOFF and then converted to whatever they need to be
delivered in. I've taken to using HTML for non-serious documents
(primarily because
I haven't found a decent CP/M emulator for MacOS, which is my primary desktop
at the moment, so I can't run WordStar; but I have found a vi clone and a Mac
version of Lynx. I can and do use WordStar under Win9x, but Microsoft decided
to stick ~s in the short file name generated for long filenames, and WordStar 4
won't let me open files with a ~ in their names (haven't seriously looked for
whatever table it's using to decide legal filename characters yet)),
but I still
use RUNOFF when I want anything decent.
