Still, you did manage to achieve your own 15 minutes of fame.
Just as Andy Warhol predicted you would.  And that makes you not
only famous, but also an international celebrity!

This was years ago.  Found a few Croatian freeware programs that
worked with SLMR.  One did away with the limitation of lines.
Another one allowed huge letters to be made, making it possible
to create banners with SLMR.

I also found another freeware program from Australia that could
be used for doing the same thing.  Or separate and all by itself
as a word processor.

I do not recall the names of those freeware programs.  Wish I did.
It has been a while since I used a DOS-based offline reader.
