OK, I can live with that... but how does HOPE! handle pen input on the
Zoomer? We all know that the vast majority of DOS apps are useless
because they expect a keyboard... does the Zoomer version of HOPE!
key into the HWR libraries? Does it work with Graffiti? Without these
things, it's useless, though a nice idea.

Hello all Zoomer users! Here is some info that is good news for Zoomer
users, and bad news for GEOS users. I just got off the phone with a
man
named Ed at MCS, the makers of the previously mentioned program called
HOPE!. He was VERY nice and was concerned that there has been a
LOT of
confusion about their new product HOPE!. Here is what he said that
should clear up that confusion:

-HOPE! does NOT write GEOS code.

-HOPE! does NOT write GEOS geods.

-HOPE! is a compiler that takes Visual BASIC programs and compiles them
into a DOS executable file that can be run on a DOS machine without
Windows.
