This a heavy duty wordprocessing program with an optional WordStar
compatible interface. It's ideal for the touch typist, since
there is no need to take your hands off the home row to activate any
functions. Its features are extensive and include:
~ Eight editing windows
~ Context-sensitive help
~ Pull-down menus
~ Printer support that includes laser printers
~ Generation of indexes and tables of contents.
~ Macro facilities, the ability to record keystrokes, and a number of
macro files for additional flexibility.
~ Automatic reformatting of text
~ Support of newspaper style columns, with word wrap and justification
of each column. Column mode blocks that can be defined and copied,
moved or deleted.
~ Comprehensive monitor support -- Mono, CGA, EGA or VGA or Hercules
graphics.
~ A DOS shell that permits the use of all DOS commands from within the
program.
~ A pop up calculator with 16 functions. The calculation result can
be pasted into your text.
~ Support for box and line drawing, with characters available at the
press of a key.
~ Optional on screen display of fonts and the ability to edit text
with this mode operating (unlike WordStar).
~ Printing with multiple headers and footers, including functions such
as current date or time.
Hundreds of other sophisticated features are included such as
insertion of current date or time (in different formats), the ability
to mark changed text in the left hand margin, and offset page number
on odd or even pages. Registered users get a 100,000-word dictionary
and an updated program that will add or delete words from the
dictionary.
The wordprocessor document files are ASCII text files, so there are no
funny embedded characters and the files are WordStar compatible, so
you can load them into any wordprocessor that reads WordStar files.
Apart from printer control strings, all formatting commands are by use
of dot commands (. in column one) or embedded functions ({. }) in the
text body.
