Gary, our syop here does a great job. Perhaps he can give you the information you would need to get Opus. Glad you were able to get the other programs.

(in terms of the machine being capable of doing such a thing if a version were written for it) i'd be the first to step forward and write it myself, except i don't know a bloody thing about compression algorithms. - -- fzsitvay@techbook.COM - but don't quote me on that....

If your converter can't give you that, you might try using SETPORT on the Rainbow to turn off XON/XOFF and enable DTR. As a final alternative, try turning the speed down to 1200 baud. - --- msged 1.99L MSC * Origin: Silver Bullet - Silver Spring, Md. - 301-622-2247 (1:109/417) ------------------------------ Date: 27 Jan 91 18:21 -0500 From: ANDY BOYCE To: ALL Subject: AUTOCAD I have a copy of autocad release 2.17 for the rainbow including al documentation. It runs under the rainbows dos mode and requires a min of 384k, graphics option, and hd disk is recommended. I believe that it has something called the "betterments package".
