      William -

      I am enclosing two disks for your Kaypro 10; the System Disk which
      will reformat your hard disk, and a second disk with WordStar 3.0
      and its associated programs Mailmerge and Spellstar.

      You will want to save as many programs/files as possible from your
      hard disk before reformatting.  If your machine is reluctant to
      boot from the hard disk, bring it up on the System Disk that I
      have sent.  After boot up, enter the command 'PUTSYS', wait for
      the command prompt to reappear, remove the System Disk and press
      the Reset button.  If the machine boots up on the hard disk,
      proceed to format a number of floppies and download to floppy
      the programs and files that you want to preserve.

      If the machine will still not boot from the hard disk, reinstall
      the System Disk and press Reset again.  As above, format a number
      of floppies.  To make things easier in your downloading, I have
      included a program called 'DISK7.COM'.  It contains a help screen
      that is available anytime you press the /? key.  When you bring
      the program up, it will display the directory of the System Disk
      one file at a time.  If you enter 'n' and then 'b' it will display
      the files on the first partition of the hard disk.  Similarly, if
      you enter 'n' 'c' it will display files on the second partition.
      When you want to access another user area, enter 'b1', 'c5', or
      whatever is appropriate.

      As you go through the files on a given partition/user area, you
      may 'Tag' any that you want to download to floppy using the 't'
      key.  Each time you enter 't', you will see a figure indicating
      how many kilobytes you have tagged for download.  Before that
      figure exceeds 390K, enter 'g' followed by 'a' for the destination
      drive.  Be sure that you have one of your formatted floppies in
      the drive first!  After you have transferred this first disk of
      files, you will need to go through and 'untag' your selections
      with the 'u' command.  Then repeat the process for the next batch.
      You can, of course, download files individually by using the 'c'
      command to copy them to your destination disk.

      The big advantage of using DISK7 is that once, you have brought up
      the program, you may remove the System Disk and only have to
      'shuffle' the disks that you formatted to copy to.

      When you are ready to start on the hard disk, boot from the System
      Disk.  At the prompt enter 'K10HDFMT'<CR>.  This will bring up a
      screen of default values for the hard disk.  These are correct for
      the K10.  Use the Up Arrow key to bring the highlighted bar to the
      top line 'FORMAT                     No'.  A <CR> will change the
      'No' to 'Yes'.  Pressing the Escape key will begin the formatting
      process which takes a while to complete.

      When you have finished formatting the hard disk, run the program
      'FINDBAD.COM' on each partition of the hard disk ('b' and 'c').
      When that is complete, enter 'SUBMIT RELOAD'<CR> and let it 'do
      its thing'.  When all of the action ceases, remove the floppy and
      press reset.  You should boot from the hard disk, and be ready to
      reload the files that you were able to save.

      Sorry to have been delinquent in getting these disks to you.  Let
      me know if I can be of further help.  $5 will cover these disks.
