Ooops. Sorry for mixing this up. Btw: Has anybody found out how to run
MS WORD from dosemu ? (forgive me, I am familiar with TEX, but I have several
users here whom I can't expect to learn UNIX and TEX at the same time :-) )
The main problem seems to lie in the keyboard code, as Word4 alternates
rapidly between all possible combinations of special keys and macro modes,
while Word5 with the biossafe.kbd driver linked into screen.vid fills the
document with capital S's. Unfortunately I have not yet been able to locate
the cause of this behaviour in the code.
