If you haven't had the time to explore LocoScript's hidden depths - or you actually find computer manuals difficult to understand (heaven forbid - Ed), you might be interested in investing in Thurston Brown's TempDisc , a disc loosely described as Template Data Disc for LocoScript, The reality is something that falls between a collection of templates and a tutorial for advanced LocoScriptian, The list of contents sounds impressive. As well as the letter templates with all the header and footer suggestions you could want the disc tackles invoicing , genealogy, envelope and label printing, creating lists, shipping documentation for exporters, setting up league tables (for 12 or 16 teams) committee documentation and invitations to parties. There is even an all-embracing apology for your behaviour at someone else's party. These make clever use of all of LocoScript's features. Various PHRASES.STD are available depending on which section you are using so you can [PASTE] in suitable phrases in an instant. Label and envelope template are set up with details such as the correct pitches and page lengths already set. Where these templates come in to their own is in all the applications involving lists* You can line up all your details quickly and easily without having to learn the difference between a left, right or centre tab. Although the examples given might not fit your needs entirely you have everything set up to adapt to your own needs. But it is on the "graphics" side of LocoScript that Thurston Brown have put most of their effort. By ingenious use of all the vague characters you get in LocoScript when you press [ALT] or [EXTRA], the designers have created a vast selection of borders and designs which you can use to brighten up your documents. Whether you really think that it does brighten up your documents to use a border made up of Inca hieroglyphics and scientific symbols must be a matter of taste but they certainly do look effective when used in the invitation templates provided. Going even further, TempDisc provides weird and wonderful screen layouts using the Reverse Video codes. Unfortunately LocoScript can't print in reverse video, so it is a bit of a waste. Still, Thurston Brown offer a £10 prize for the best screen design sent to them. 8000PLUS | ★ AMSTRAD CPC ★ DOWNLOAD ★ |

Page créée en 502 millisecondes et consultée 1147 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. |
