Hello,

I recently bought WS 3.31 for my Z100 at home.  At work I have an IBM machine
with WS 3.30.  I would like to run 3.31 at work also.  After installation, 3.31
crashes my IBM system.  I suspect the problem is that I could not find the
terminal installation menu (it seems to be set only for a Z100) to alter the
terminal to an IBM.  

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

John

naw, it's just that you've got a Z-100-specific version and the I(nferior)
B(ut) M(arketable) P(reposterous) C(ontrivence) is not Z-100-compatible.  The
Z-100 version of wordstar crashes the ibm for the same reason any other Z-100
software will... the ibm is incompatible, sorry there's no fix...
