For file transfers I always used Crosstalk (aka xtalk) for
file transfers. Its very hard to find anywhere. If you
do find it; there isn't any copyright left on it.
I paid the copywrite office $20 to tell me that.
I'd love to have the source code for it.

I'm shocked at how many countries are doing it
and I'm very grateful that the US hasn't.
I have to admit that paper tax forms are getting
very hard to get. The IRS really likes e-filing but
they haven't forced anyone to do it - yet.

Sorry I didn't pick up on it.
Even Brazil is doing it, The web only said India was

I get paper statments for everything and they now
all charge me for the paper version. The bank is $3

paper. Computer software is in constant flux.
One day it works then over night they upgrade
and you also have to upgrade to read it. Some times
American taxes are very complex but at least
we can still use paper. My tax return is 8
double sided pages. I'd sink if I didn't have
QPRO to do all the math.
America loves to copy Japanese and European
ways, even when they're stupid. I hope this
is one idea they take a pass on.

I think Corel should realease their old versions FREE but
be able to sell updates to their fans. I did purchase a disks full
of updates from a woman who said they came from Corel.
It gave me a hand full of improvements. If I see any more
Corel updates - I'll buy.

I think you helped keep an interesting piece of software from
fading out permenantly. It has little practical use but is
interesting to look at - a piece of historical art. Protected
software usually disappears completely when it loses
its usefulness. This way some younger people can see
what it
I wouldn't expect them to ever release the source but
to put it back on the market for sale, like it use to be.
Not everthing can be open and free. If you tell them you
have a million downloads they may feel there is once
again a viable market for their product and will sell
and upgrade their dos
I don't know how you found this but it worked like a charm.
The big ugly red screen is gone. Many thanks.

The copy I downloaded does. The download did not include
the password. You only have to enter it once then its good
foreever.
Do you have the password ?

I use it to print to a blurtooth printer. I establish the BT
link with xtalk then exit to dos . I can print by using the dos
copy command to copy a .prn file to the com port.

A really good one is xtalk; if you can find it. Procomm is also
good; if you can find it. Telex requires a password otherwise
it stops working after a few uses. Procomm is nice to look at
but xtalk is a little better. I wish someone would write an xtalk
clone extended to other ports - usb etc.
I downloaded as-easy-as from your site.
I didn't see a "LET command listed. Its a command
that makes dos qpro special. None of my dos macros
would run without it.
Maybe you could talk to Corel or who ever owns
the copyright and see if they could bring back their
office software for FREEDOS use.
