WordStar (the one with the annoying capital letter in the middle) on the CPC micro range is not the fully-fledged version - its true title is Pocket WordStar. What you receive when you purchase WordStar is an install program and a mailmerge facility - not forgetting of course the main word-processor file. Just about everything is possiblo with WordStar. It is a professional system with price tag and control to match. Be warned that you're in for a very hard time if this is your first word-processor. There are countless menus and sub-menus, all got at by obscure conirol-key sequences such as Control-KD for saving a file. It's difficult to get to grips with. As the CPC machines can't lit all the program's features into momory. many overlays are necessary - and this means that to do certain tasks you must wait for bits of program to load from disk. Text moving, copying, even search-and-replace are all extremely slow. This happens because WordStar insists on showing on screen every change made and we all know text output on the Amstrad is not lightning anyway. Document size is limited only by the free space available on your disk. Unfortunately moving from top to bottom of a long file necessitates lots of disk accessing which slows work down considerably. And remember you have to have at least 50k of WordStar resident on every disk, unless you have a twin-disk system. NewWord requires dual disks. Neither likes you sneakily trying to change disks: crash. AMSTRAD ACTION #18 | ★ AMSTRAD CPC ★ DOWNLOAD ★ |

Page créée en 501 millisecondes et consultée 1985 foisL'Amstrad CPC est une machine 8 bits à base d'un Z80 à 4MHz. Le premier de la gamme fut le CPC 464 en 1984, équipé d'un lecteur de cassettes intégré il se plaçait en concurrent du Commodore C64 beaucoup plus compliqué à utiliser et plus cher. Ce fut un réel succès et sorti cette même années le CPC 664 équipé d'un lecteur de disquettes trois pouces intégré. Sa vie fut de courte durée puisqu'en 1985 il fut remplacé par le CPC 6128 qui était plus compact, plus soigné et surtout qui avait 128Ko de RAM au lieu de 64Ko. |
