Re: S/36 5363 Help..

["John M Ross" <jross@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Did you ever get answer to these questions? I can not help much. I am not
sure the S36 will work after 2000.

Unless you can find someone who just has the tapes or disk you will not have
much luck getting replacements.

As for secret tips and hints, it is a complex system and it has been a long
time since I have used it.

I am not sure I would put the time into learning the S36.
