 Subj: SCREEN PROBLEMS W/ MC         Status: PUBLIC MESSAGE
 HELLP!
 I was using both PC-FORTH and MC (v 2.1) without a hitch on a Leading
 Edge up to about 2 years ago, then packed it away.
   On resurrecting the tool to run on my Compaq LTE/286 yesterday I found
 the screens junked up when PC-FORTH is installed for a PC.  I simply am
 using the UFORTH.COM renamed, without taking on a screen driver, and
 this is just fine, it seems.  
   BUT, the Metacompiler does not seem so handily dealt with.  What
 happens is this - the program seems to work alright, except the screen
 takes on a BOLD sort of underline bar beneath every character on the
 screen!  This is not only inconvenient to see, but the screen goes off
 the screen, if you catch my drigt, as a result of these bar lines.
 I need to use this tool!  But I am constrained to my LTE machine, also. 
   So, 
   Do you have a solution?  Another, more generic MC without this funny
 quirK w/r my Compaq LTE (which supposedly is CGA compatible)?  
   And, if can I get it on 3.5" media, which would be ever so much 
 handier?
   HELP!
   You can reach me @  Jeff Danforth

 thanks
