Dear people,
Some of you may remember a couple of months ago, I was asking on the list if
there was a way of converting SAM wordprocessor files to some sort of
PC-compatible format. Basically, my problem was that I had 80 or so
WordMaster files (which together make up half a book about

You know, when I think back, Bob was one evil c*nt at times. (etc...)
Oh, shut up. Yes he was utterly infuriating at times, and probably living
in a complete fantasy world - all in all, a pretty silly man - but I've

Unless Trev was also a WCC Co. Sec.
You see, even I don't know it all !
Yep, Trevor Askew - he was company

Any idea who Ken Elston is?
Just wondering as he seemed to share an email address with Samsboss?
IIRC Mr R P Brenchley's father.
Bob used the name as a pseudonym in format, he even published some of

Right... So if he was in Wales, who was at 44 Buddle Lane Exeter or
whatever?

PS Whatever happened to Format?
Probably got a shock after posting out all the owed SAM Clocks
Now there's an interesting question. I bet this has been discussed ad
nauseum before I rejoined the list after a 3-year break a couple of months
back, but anyway. Last I heard was about 2

indeed, the editorial of the last issue of Format (circa Feb 99) did

He works with his friend, who also never fully recovered from his

Thank you to the four people who have pointed out what should have been
obvious. My apologies for completely missing the point. Clearly this
list has developed a level of wit that wasn't evident last time I was a
member, three years ago. It were all Bill Ritman round here when I were a
