Msg 43212 is 14 line(s) on 02/13/90 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to LANE LARRISON re: R/ADM.COM There is no such thing as "before my time". I've been in computers since '65, (even won my Sr. High School science fair grand prize in '63 with a home-made "computer"). But nevertheless, I never heard of ADM. What name comes up when it runs? i.e. does it announce itself as "American Data Machine" or something? Also, have you just looked at the databases themselves? it could be a simple file format that you could darn near put thru an editor. Alternatively, I know a programmer who, if it isn't too big a deal, could crank out a conversion program for you in Turbo Pascal for maybe a few 100's of $ - depends upon what it is worth to you in terms of saving time/money and getting accuracy. Of particular significance might be whether it uses binary or floating point internally, or whether it stores data in ascii, making things much easier. Good luck!

Don't know anything about that, BUT you need to tell WP what video to use. Do that with the Setup menu on Shift+F1. There's an auto-select feature if you're not sure of your setup, but it sound like you are.

Has anyone had any experience with this unit? Msg 43216 is 08 line(s) on 02/14/90 from HOWARD HOYT to ERIC BOHLMAN re: R/ Thankyou for responding to my request for ascii to bodot conversion. Or should I spell it correctly Baudot? Thankx for that also. I remember reading about all this back in the days of my SWTPc 6800. There were a number of articles about building converters before Priscella screwed Wayne out of Byte magazine. If I could locate the first twelve issues of Byte magazine I could build a converter from their articles. But I threw mine out years ago not realizing I would want to refer to the "stone age" some day. Msg 43217 is 14 line(s) on 02/14/90 from LANE LARRISON to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: ADM PROGRAM Hey, you could have been another Woz in '63! You're right, by the way, about a title on the ADM program. It comes up with "IBM Application Display Management System Copyright 1984, Version 1.0" on the screen. My hobby is programming, and I have a son in college who's just starting Pascal, so we have enough manpower to do a con- version program. A perfect project for a couple of hackers. The problem, of course, is the fact that the files are all in records format. There isn't an intelligible ASCII formation in sight any- where. (Nothing's easy.) I've often been curious about what the compiler does with all those neat little packets of ASCII words when it handles them as fields (not curious enough to spend $150 for the source code or to decipher a dump, but curious). If they're stored as binary files, aren't ASCII values preserved? A is 65 is 1000001, no? Thanks for your input.
