I've done it, but it's quite easy to do yourself - if you go to http://www.classiccmp.org/cpmarchives/cpm/Software/rlee/M/MICROPRO/WORDSTAR/V3-3/8080/ and download WINSTALL.COM, WS.INS, and WSU.COM (assuming you don't already have them), you can then run WINSTALL and generate a new WS.COM containing your own customized parameters (there's a lot more you can customize beyond just the terminal type). VT100 is a standard terminal type (I think it is selection F on the first screen of terminals). I'm still trying to figure out how to edit the terminal control codes for SPELSTAR.OVR because the version on that site is configured for some other terminal type, there isn't an installer for it, and aside from that there's something wrong with their copy of SPELSTAR.DCT because I only seem to have less than 50% success spell-checking files - it often aborts saying that there's an invalid dictionary entry. As an aside, a general question for anyone familiar with CP/M (or maybe this is a question specifically for Phil Avery): is there printing support from within M100 CP/M to the M100 parallel port? If so, what would I select as my printer output device in WordStar to make this happen? I tried setting it to the "Standard List Device (LST:)" and when I try printing the machine seems to lock up, which may just be because I didn't have a printer hooked up at the time. I do have a parallel cable, and my trusty old LaserJet 4000N has a parallel port, I guess I just have to get going and move the MVT100 and monitor closer to the printer so I can actually try it... jim
