OS-9 ProFile and DynaCalc worked together nicely.  Tandy never did 
release an OS-9 Scripsit, AFAIK.  Disk Scripsit was still a stand-alone 
product.  One of the reasons I moved to OS-9 in the first place was 
because I bought cart Scripsit and ColorFile, then found out that you 
couldn't interchange your data.  With OS-9 DynaCalc, I could feed it 
right into Ed and produce a nice product.  Never tried DynaStar, but 
I'm certain you would have no problems.
