Does anyone know if there is software available for a Chromatics CG-1599
color graphics computer? Z80-based, has a dual 8? floppy drive and paper
tape reader. Supposedly there was a version of Microsoft BASIC for it, but
first I have to find the OS to get thing booted.

8?? 8^2 or 64" floppies? At over 5 foot wide, they would indeed be
pretty damned floppy.

One problem solved ? one of the boards has a set of eight 2716s on it with
?BASIC V3.0? written on the first one. The CPU board has four more with
what I hope is some form of an OS that will get me to a prompt and let me go
to BASIC?s location in memory. Almost all the chips are socketed on all the
boards so I?m in the process of testing and reseating them.

Do you know that you're using superscript-1 for an apostrophe and
superscript-2 and superscript-3 for open and close quotes?

I see that now - I'm not sure why the normal punctuation that I wrote was
changed like that (let's see if the two apostrophes in this email stay the
same)

Nope, they looked all right.
You top-quoted, though. :?P

Did your original message have "left" and "right" quotation marks?
(there ain't no sech thing in ASCII)
If YOUR software supports them, then the same codes that your software
uses for them will show up as something else in other software. You might
not even have asked for such, but some mail clients "do you favors", and
convert double quotes into "left double quote" and "right double
quote",
which are then incomprehensible to the next software down the line, and
it'll misinterpret them into something bizarre, such as superscript 2 and
3.

OK, brand new emails in Entourage for Mac 2008 have those unsupported marks,
but replying to an existing post like this does not. I'll just have to be
careful in the future making new posts.
