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.
