I have not owned a "PC" for quite a while now, and have never been  
able to run RITTY or WF1B.

However, I appreciated WF1B's effort so much, I purchased a copy of  
it just as a show of support even though I knew I could never run  
it.  The floppy and documentation remained until it was tossed  
together with many things during a QTH move.

IMHO, WF1B was singularly responsible for bringing RTTY contesting  
from the Gutenberg age into the 20th century.
