Salut Marcel. Merci beaucoup d'avoir trouve le temps de me depanner. Avant de fouiller le PDA pour le bon decodeur, je devrais souligner que j'ai un PC 286, j'utilise WordPerfect 5.0 et 5.1, et je n'ai pas de souris. Est-ce que mon ordinateur est assez puissant pour certains logiciels decodeurs? Est-ce que j'ai besoin d'un souris?
