> Does DEMACS work --- reliably?  I would appreciate email from anyone

I've been using it for a couple weeks now, and I haven't had too many
problems with it.  I have learned not to try o shell to DOS then print a
file...  it will hang when I try to exit the shell.  Also, it
occasionaly leaves the computer in a mode that sends every line to the
printer when it exits.  Other than thos two problems, and a couple of
inconsistencies that I expected with DOS, (keyboard flakienessand a lack
of background processes) it's been working fine.  I use it daily for
work, generally for several hours at a stretch.
