I do not have any further technical information on the Data 20 XL-80
video cartridge, but may I request help on same.  I was able to buy this
product at a very low price because FredRated Stores wanted to get rid
of it (and lots of other stuff) in a hurry.  Unfortunately, the tape
containing the word processing program to be used with this cartridge
seems to be damaged.  It will not load.  I have tried to load it with
two different Datasets.

Can anyone help me get a good copy of this program, either on disk
(preferably) or tape?  I don't think this would be a violation of law or ethics,
since my copy is bad and the manufacturer is out of business.  Besides, the
software is useless without the cartridge, and you can't duplicate a
cartridge so easily.

Also, I notice that when I use 'get' in BASIC in the 80 column mode with
this cartridge, a line-feed always results.  Is that an inevitable
byproduct of the 80 column cartridges's firmware?

Thanks for any help you may be able to give me.
