Subj: THAT DAMNED "DTERM" FILE

I was talking to Mike Klar, the guy who wrote that DTERM file you printed for
us a short time ago.  He's actually done some other pretty nifty stuff with the
WP-2 (he's a Z-80 jock from a ways back, apparently), which I'll try to recover
from Compuserve and upload to here.  I'm trying to scare up some WP-2 interest
on the Internet...it's tough...people tend to be so lethargic... Anyway, to get
back to Mike...he doesn't think that entering the info in by ASCII will work.
He tells me that the header contains some info that just can't be entered in
hex, apparently.  Turns out that he wrote the stuff on some z-80 compiler and
then transferred it to his WP-2 using a null modem.  He sez the Service Manual
contains some pretty useful info for programming on the WP-2 (he was even kind
enough to point out some particularly heinous bugs in the WP-2 ROM). Does
anyone know how I can get me hands on a WP-2 Service Manual, outside of going
to Tandy National Parts?
