No, just checked, it was in a November 81 issue of "Datamation". "The IBM Displaywriter, ostensibly designed for word processing, may be a good opportunity for independent application software developers. They are enamored of the machines price/performance ratio and self diagnostics, both of which surpass IBM's Personal Computer - - not to mention Displaywriter's popularity with customers who wouldn't consider a computer otherwise. Already, Digital Research has come out with a version of it's CP/M operating syatem for the Displaywriter, and soon Advanced Sofware Products. Inc. of Delray Beach, Fla., will come out with a COBOL compiler for the machine. Similar to the virtual COBOL it offers for the IBM Series/1 mini, Advanced Sofyware's package is expected to rent for about $25 a month per machine. Meanwhile, industry observers are waiting for IBM to disclose its BASIC package for the system. " ciao larry lwalker(a)interlog.com
