ProDOS16 v1.6 of System3.2 does the trick.

Thank you...

I've just checked the archive on the site and it doesn't include ProDOS, as seen by the 'Unable to load ProDOS' screen.

What you'll need to do is to boot from another disk with ProDOS 16 or GS/OS.

I recommend trying System 3.2, as this was the version of the OS that would have shipped with Deluxe Write:

So you'll need to boot from that disk first, insert the Deluxe Write 2image file, then launch the Deluxe Write app from the IIGS Finder.

You can try to run it from System 6, but I've found Deluxe Write is pretty flakey under that version of the OS. It seems to run on every 3rd or 4th try. It's preferable to run it via shift boot as well.

Hope that helps, let the forum know how you're going with it.

I've downloaded the Deluxe Write image off this site and I'm unable to get it working -- mind you, I'm using xkegs.

Is it possible to get this word processor working under emulation?
