[Papyrus-L] Is this list still active

[John Kiernan]

Gordon Scobie is right! Papyrus is indeed still excellent.

I use it on a desktop computer with the latest 32-bit version of Windows. All files are backed up, by way of memory sticks and a movable hard drive, to two laptops. The laptops, dammit, have 64-bit Windows. On one laptop I can run Papyrus with the 4DOS emulator, but I do this only to read from the database. When my desktop computer dies, all my Papyrus program files and other data should still be on two laptops, a movable hard drive and three memory sticks.

Thank you, Taber, for drawing attention to vDos.  It may be a better DOS emulator than 4DOS.


Best regards,  John.

Congratulations for reborn this list. I knew Papyrus and I think is the best software for bibliographic management. My question is, I have a MacBook laptop with M1 chip how can use Papyrus?

Hello, Jan:



Thank you for your quick response. And, it has worked!!  I now can run Papyrus through the DOS window.  It took me awhile to remember how to use DOS.  When was the last time I used the change directory command!?
