| SYSTEM X (c) Pride utilities (Cahier de l'Amstrad) | SYSTEM X (Popular Computing Weekly) |
EXTENDED Pride Utilities'program, System X, is an extension to Amstrad Basic - it adds 30 new commands, some fairly trivial, but others very useful indeed. All commands are preceded by a slash to tell the machine that these are not part of the usual command set. Trivial additions include Capoff and Capon to switch the caps lock of or on within a program. Interesting and useful commands include Dpeek to peek two locations at once, Getchar to read a character from the screen text position and place it in a string and Motor to switch the 464 cassette player on or off or other devices connected to the 464 remote plug. Other commands cover moving sections of memory around and speeding up saving - both potentially very useful indeed. £9.95 is a reasonable price for this kind of utility.
