Re: Nostalgia – TEXT87 & SPELLBOUND

Post by Tinyfpga »

A long time ago I used a special version of Text87 which ran on SMS2. I have found a large number of documents that I wrote
using this program. I would like to be able to read those documents on SMSQE, but the SMS2 version does not run on SMSQE.
The demo version that came with one of the distributions does not work either.
It is said that Marcus Kilgus did something that allows Text87 to run on high resolution installations of SMSQE. I can't find that
something. So I have two questions:-

Does the Text87 demo run on SMSQE in full colour and at high resolutions and how do you get it to run?
If Text87 runs in SMSQE where can I buy a copy of the program?

Officially, you can just buy the program 2nd hand, not a new one. Try Sellmyretro.

MK has made a few commercial patch programs, to make text87 work under SMSQE/WMAN2. As he is not contactable since a while, you have to look for those patch programs 2nd hand.
