Typing program... what was it called?
« on: May 07, 2013, 11:18:52 PM »

There used to be a program that i am not sure if it was an allowed program or not, but it used to let you type things directly into UO and was great for making your text stand out with stars and stuff.

Can anybody remember what it was called and where i could get it from?

thanks in advance.

It was called Texter. Most likely doesn't work anymore. (Along with the majority of those programs.)

I was thinking more on the lines of Mavis Beacon teaches typing. Is anyone else old enough to remember this when you could get it on 5.25" Floppy and it took like 4 disks to load it on your 10 Mb hard drive?

Heh, I used to buy Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing by the truckload back in the late 80s when I worked as a software buyer at a popular local book/media store.  Those were strange days; that store was so popular that I had a bit of local celebrity.  It got kind of annoying going out to dinner and having people come up to me to say "Hi" all the time.  I love my anonymity now.  ;-)
