Thanks Mike. I heard about the RISCOS release yesterday from another source. Good to hear that using it with an emulator is an option. It would be good to chat with Robert to see how that would work in practice.

It would be great to speak to him if only to congratulate him on helping create such a wonderful piece of software and ask how it was allowed to become obsolete. I'm not a computer expert, so I didn't understand the PDF printer idea. But I am really determined to get Textease up and running normally again, so will pursue all other avenues first. Many thanks once again for your help!

Thanks, Mikemcsharry. This is all useful info. Maybe I could get some info straight from the horse's mouth by contacting just2easy.

Thanks for that, JATSO. There's still hope, then (and maybe for all us oldies!) I'll have to get in touch with the school where I used to work and see if they can do anything for me.

Thanks or your help, MAVHC and 3s-gtech. JATSO: Textease was a superb piece of software, so it's no wonder people have been clinging on to it for so long. (Many people hated it as it was so unlike any other wordprocessor of its time.) Many schools will have thousands of textease files, and would be at a loss with no software to run them.

That's interesting, Sted. I've had textease working on my Windows machine for donkey's years, even after a Windows 10 64-bit upgrade. I've just re-installed Windows 10 because of speed problems, and now I can't get Textease to load from DVD. It's a 16-bit version, and I don't know what version my original installation was. I have hundreds of textease files that I use regularly, and I'm stuck for a solution. I'm just making a flashdrive installer of the 32-bit Windows-10, and will try that, but if you have a better idea I would be very grateful to hear from you.
