    Masterwood Project 317 & 327

    Gday everyone. Im playing around with the Masterwood project 317 & 327 atm. Very old lol. Still using DOS I believe.
    Their alright machines, and Ive got most of the basics going for me atm. But im finding it hard to write a programme by hand on the pc.
    So heres my question if anyone can possibly help at all.

    I want to be able to write programmes at home and then take them to work on a USB stick (yes the machine has a USB port that works)
    but when I tried this ( i wrote the programme in TEXTEDIT, a mac program... basicallly notepad) it loads the programme but the code is all doubled up in the programming screen on the 317 and 327.

    I cant work out why.
    can anyone lend some advice or experience using these machines.

    I also want to run the programmes at home on a simulator program so i can do more work at home... anyone know any programs to visualise the code on a pc or preferably mac.

    thankyou

    i hope someone can help

    It's been over 4 years since I used a 327.
    It could be an issue with using a mac.
    The files are very simple on a 327, as long as you have the header portion correct.

    We used to have a version of the control software on our office PC that would display the code just like at the machine, and also let you write code with the editor that the control has. There may be a copy on the machine's hard drive, but I'm not sure.
