I’ve been using the DOS version of PC-Outline for over twenty years. The Windows version of PC-O sold by Brown Bag’s British successor was not able to read any of the hundreds of PC-O DOS files I’d created for my writing, so I’ve been forced to continue using the DOS version. It looks like this will no longer be possible under the newer versions of Windows, so, besides the file-size limitations (50k file size) I have to currently contend with, it looks like I’ll be forced to transcribe all my old files by hand.
Trouble is, I don’t know if there’s anything I can get that will have all the old features plus larger file size and ability to run under crappy Windows (which I have to do, for various reasons, even ‘though I’d rather be able to use Linux). Any body able to HELP!?
Thanks, if you can.
