Yes, there are a lot of ways! The simplest is to convert in the emulator (a bunch of similar programs) into an alternative one. Is Tasword not a 7-bit format? Then it’s easy using a macro in WORD or using Shift+BckSpc in Word&Deed. The main thing is to copy onto the
screw, then it will be easier :)

IMHO, Hobeta v2.15 (not v2.00!) by pressing ALT-F5 copies exactly the
Tasworda files. Well, provided that the Spec disk is formatted DCU.

Warm greetings, Slava.

ps\ and why is there such a feature :))
