There are only 2 of us in the office who can use DOS machines, so everything's got to be set up to run Windows. In fact, 3 systems are set up so you almost have to boot from a floppy to run plain DOS; and I've got to have Windows available to check out Windows software or to do things that can only be done in/from Windows. For myself, I'm still using WPDOS 5.1+ and DesqView, even on the Pentium system I've got at work. :-) --- Via Silver Xpress V4.3P BT004 --- QM v1.30 * Origin: FOG-Line - Ankeny Iowa - 515-964-7937 (1:290/627.0) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 163 WORD PERFECT Ref: DC100007 Date: 07/30/96 From: BRUCE WILSON Time: 07:20am \/To: BILL WHITE (Read 8 times) Subj: Re: Connected!

COLD BOOT: everything goes identical to a power on / power off cycle WARM BOOT: same, but no memory check.

Hmng. It _should_ be on one of the disks delivered with your printer. Otherwise you could try the WP BBS in Rotterdam: 010-2200933. Alternatively you could try on the WWW: http://www.corel.com and/or ftp://ftp.corel.com (the .com's might be .ca's!!! ... I'm using flaky memory ...)
