WS3.0 - VT100 patches (was: Assistance request.)

Hi Folks,

I'm looking for a Altair 8" floppy disk image of a version of WordStar that can be configured to work with a VT100/ANSI terminal (V3.3 or V4?). V3 does not list ANSI or VT100 as a terminal type.

Does anyone have such a beast?

Edit: I went ahead and patched WS 3.0 for use with a VT100/ANSI terminal. If anyone is interested here are the locations and what they need to be changed to using the WS INSTALL program.

Code: Select all
024A - 02
024B - 1B
024C - 5B

0253 - 01
0254 - 3B

0258 - 01
0259 - 48

025E - 00
025F - 00
0260 - 02

026D - 03
026E - 1B
026F - 5B
0270 - 4B

0274 - 00

0284 - 04
0285 - 1B
0286 - 5B
0287 - 37
0288 - 6D

028B - 04
028C - 1B
028D - 5B
028E - 30
028F - 6D

I'll still take a WS 3.3 or 4 image if anyone has it.
