I wonder if anyone here has ever been able to get The Tandy Coco
version of Dynacalc 1.00.00 to run on a non-Coco terminal.  I
remember about 10 years ago I was able to run it on a Coco with
a Wordpak II in 80 columns, but since my son has ressurected the
Coco from the attic and we have set up a couple terminals (a
Radio Shack Model III and a 486 PC) neither one is able to run
Dynacalc.  The opening Dynacalc screen on the terminals is an
endless stream of the Dynacalc opening screen without any
formatting and then the worksheet column and row headers come up
consectively followed bu a never ending stream of ASCII
characters.

I downloaded a couple patches from this forum, the VT100.TRM
file drops Dynacalc back to the OS9 prompt, it is for version
4.xx.  I patched Dynacalc.Trm myself to provide the # of columns
and rows, add linefeeds, etc. but somewhere else in Dynacalc
there seems to be something to prevent it from running on ASCII
terminals or anything else we can emulate.

Any help would be greatly appreciated . .
