Hello everyone,

I'm trying to use Write Now on the VIC-20 but can't seem to find a manual
for it. The nearest I can find is what Anders Persson worked out:
http://www.boray.se/commodore/writenow.html

This is helpful but I'd love to be able to look at the manual. I've
looked online and can't find it.

Does anyone have a link to the manual that I have missed?

Best wishes

Not sure if this is manual or not, but it sure looks like it.

https://commodore.bombjack.org/commodore/commodore/
VIC-20_Personal_Computing_Guide.pdf

That site has been my mainstay for finding just about any book on commodore
computers.

Its actually a preservation site, that preserves books on many differenet
computer related topics and machines. If you have never checked it out, it is
definetly worth your time to check it out.

Thanks but unfortunately this is a general manual for the VIC-20 not the
Write Now word processor manual, perhaps I should have been more
specific. However, I agree the bombjack site has some great resources on
it; I've used it a number of times.

Best wishes

Sorry about that. I did those fine this link that appears to have the book in
ebook on Google Play:

https://books.google.com/books/about/Write_Now.html?id=6SoIk AEACAAJ

Did not follow-up and check out the link to ensure it was the manual, but will
keep my fingers crossed!
