TRSDOS 6.2 works pretty well but it thinks the world ended on 12/31/87 If you want the BBS for that system get ahold of ERACS, a former product of mine. I used to sell the thing, but it's now free to the taking on our system in the files area. It DOES require a fixed disk for a reasonable system, and comes as 6 disk images. Simply download and unpack (unpack program is on our system as well). 3 disks are program, and other 3 are the docs. It will run on a floppy system as long as you have better than 2 single-sided drives (ie: 2 720K's will work ok, or better). Runs fantastic on a fixed disk, and can be set up to use the RAM DISK as well (back bank memory). In it's time it was one of the most feature-full and powerful systems available on the market, and as a freebie, it's probably still the best although we no longer sell or support it. Source to 90% of it is also on our system for the asking. -- Karl Denninger (karl@ddsw1.MCS.COM, !ddsw1!karl) Public Access Data Line: [+1 312 566-8911], Voice: [+1 312 566-8910] Macro Computer Solutions, Inc.
