As well as the above four programs. Master includes a suite of business accounting programs which, as with the home accounts, were previously sold separately. There is a major change here, not in the programs themselves but in the value for money they represent. The disk version of the suite would have set you back almost £100 at the start of the year, while now it's less than £10 on top of the basic Office Mate price. At £100, the documentation was thin and the programs fairly unfriendly. Being written in BASIC and having poor error-trapping, the suite was hardly up to the professional standards the price tagsuggested. As part of a budget package, it can be forgiven these shortcomings quite easily. It does the job, and that's got to make it worth the money - provided it's a job you really want to computerise. Much the same goes for the packages as a whole. If you want the individual programs, the package is remarkable value - but, database aside, the programs aren't generally useful in the Mini Office IIsense. The home accounts in particular are fairly inflexible, and I really miss the at-a-glance access to the figures you get from a spreadsheet. Also, the documentation is very short on friendliness. If you don't really know what a database can do for you, or what a record is, the manual doesn't explain. AA #9 | ★ AMSTRAD CPC ★ DOWNLOAD ★ |

Page créée en 272 millisecondes et consultée 1841 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. |
