MCX gives the MASTERCALC user the following extra facilities:

  1. All or part of a spread-sheet can be written en bloc as an ASCI file which can then be loaded or merged into a TASWORD/AMSWORD file. The format mimics that of MASTERCALC's text printed output.
  2. A spread-sheet can be accessed cell-by-cell, and recalculated values can be stored back. The full range of Amstrad Basic math functions is available. The updated file can be re-written for use by MASTERCALC again.
  3. Spread-sheet data can be sent to another program, e.g. a graphics package, or data can be received from other spread-sheets or programs, e.g. MASTERFILE. (The latter via Masterfile Program Extensions, MPX)

The main component of MCX is module MCXCODE (.BIN if on disc) which is machine code logic to provide linkage between Basic and a loaded MASTERCALC spreadsheet file. MCXCODE has four entry points which are CALLed from Basic. MCX Basic may be written by the user, but the package includes a ready-written Basic program, MCXB to perform the block output as described in a) above.

Every MCX Basic program must work within 8K, and load MCXCODE. The latter loads at 8192 and is about 6K long. RAM beyond MCXCODE is used to receive a MASTERCALC spreadsheet file.

Using MCXB

This small Basic program uses MCXCODE to create an ASCI file equivalent to the text printed via [CTRL P] in MASTERCALC proper. The file so created may then be loaded or merged by text-processing programs, such as TASWORD/AMSWORD. The steps required as as follows:

  1. Use MASTERCALC to load the plan, and position at the row and column of the section of the plan to be extracted, exactly as one would in preparation to text print via [CTRL P], although it is not necessary to execute the text print.
  2. Exit to MASTERCALC top menu, and save the plan.
  3. Reset the computer then RUN "MCXB" [ENTER]. This program then asks...
  4. Give the name of the plan to load, as saved in b) above. Do not append the ".BIN" as this is automatic.
  5. Give the name of the text file to be created.
  6. If row and column numbers are to be included, indicate via [Y]
  7. Give the text width, between 20 and 128 characters. (128 is the maximum that TASWORD will handle.)
  8. Give the row number at which to stop, or a high number such as 255 if you wish to extract to the last row.

MCXB then creates the text file, at the same time displaying it on the screen. If the text width is greater than 79 then lines may overflow on the screen. On completion the message "File xxxxxxxx created" appears.

Note that the dialogue f) g) h) closely mirrors that of [CTRL P] text print in MASTERCALC proper.

The text file created by MCXB can be read via OPENIN and LINE INPUT #9 in any Basic program. It can also be loaded or merged by TASWORD/ASMWORD, to form part of a larger report.

L'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.
