I now have a HP-150A that I use at home. I tried to run my Easywriter 2
on it, but it failed everytime. 
Is there a way of porting Easywriter to the HP-150, a MS-DOS machine?

John:  Two things I'd suggest. One is to try the IBM PC emulator for
the 150 which lets the 150 emulate most of the video interupt (INT 10)
fundtions.  If a program does not use direct memory access for display,
it will work.  Programs such as Wordstar 5.0 and Word Perfect work fine
only under the emulator.  

Two, if you have sourece code I might be able to help some.  

I'd suggest you pursue the HP SIG on Compuserve, which is very active
in identifying software that works, etc.  

If you want a copy of the emulator, drop me your address and I'll mail
you one on 3.5 media.
