Re: TIB: link software with parallel port for the 86
Sorry, I'm popping in here because I just discovered from this message that the
graphlink program listed below is/was newer than the one I was using. Mine was
version 1 and the one below is version 1.1, and just a few k larger than the
old one. Does anyone know what the changes are? I think I noticed more
trouble shooting info in the help file. Does anyone know? --D
