OZEDIT.WD* Margaret English, 71216,1613 First of all, see OZZY.TRN in XA1 for an excellent file on how to transfer text between your M100 and your Osborne. That system worked well for me as long as I only wanted to store files on my Osborne disks and download them to the M100 for further editing. However, if you want to draft text documents on your M100 and then do further editing with Wordstar on your Ozzie you may run into some of the same problems I did: ---------1. Lost carriage returns. Wordstar sends only its own carriage returns to my Epson. Any embedded while the document is in the M100 are among the missing. If you have the same problem, here's how to recover them: On your Ozzy, boot your CPM disk with SETUP on it in drive A. Put your Wordstar disk in Drive B. Use SETUP to program two function keys on your Wordstar disk. Key 1: ^Q^F# Key 2: ^-^G^L Before uploading, go through the text file in your M100 and mark all paragraph endings and other hard carriage returns with a "#". (I know this is a pain and would be grateful for a little program that would do this for me. Hint, hint.) Upload to Ozzy as per instructions in OZZY.TRN. On your Osborne, boot Wordstar and load the file in question. Now, hit your first programmed function key. This will move the cursor to the first marker. Then hit the second function key. This will erase the "#", insert a hard carriage return , eat up the blank line, and then move the cursor to the next marker. Hit the second function key again to continue. (If you come to a "#" that's part of the text and not a marker, just hit ^L to get to the next one). When you've finished, you can go back to the top of the file and reformat to any line length you want without messing up your paragraphs, headers, or whatever. This is the most efficient way I've found to generate Wordstar- printable files. I know it ain't great, so if anyone has a better method, PLEASE SHARE. ----------2. I have found that Wordstar files downloaded to the M100 produce a lot of garbage. This can be eliminated by typing "Z"in brackets after PIP command on your OZZY. It'll look like this: PIP *PUN:=B:filename(bracket)Z(bracket) Finally, I have not solved the problem of how to send a ^Z to Ozzy when uploading from Basic. Anybody out there have the answer to that one? You probably know, however, that you can download from OZZY directly into basic without all that extra loading and saving. MKE:12/18/84
