Now this is something really special. A 100% machine code
word processor that has just about every feature you would find in a
commercial word processor and a few more that I have not seen in even
the most expensive word processors. It will be impossible to describe
here all of the features of this amazing program. All cut and paste,
search and replace and cursor movement features that you would find on
the most expensive word processors are here and you can change the width
of the screen and the colour, check number of words in a document and
more. There are a large number of printer control commands but most
important of all (and rare on commercial word processors) is the full
keyboard macro feature which allows you to define sets of commands to be
allocated to individual keys. This is one of the reasons why I use
Superscript and I was astonished to find such a powerful facility on a
public domain program. You really have to see It to believe it. Textpro
can be used as a conventional word processor or even as a program
editor. On a 130XE you can load a program into RAMDISK, transfer it to
Textpro, edit it with full cut and paste facilities, transfer it back to
RAMDISK and run it! You can even edit object code with Textpro or use it
with Kermit to download files, hold them in a buffer and transfer them
for processing before saving or resending them. Textpro has lots of
features for disk utilities and more. It works with several different
DOS packages including Spartados. The first side of the disk has the
program and several macro extensions and has on screen help facilities
which can be loaded at any time. You can use it straight away without a
manual but if you want to get the very best from the program, flip the
disk over and you will find a full manual giving you lots of hints and
tips and explaining some of the amazing things you can do with Textpro.
This manual needs to be printed out and is over thirty pages in total.
This is without doubt one of the finest programs I have seen in the
public domain, certainly on a par with Turbo Basic for value and good
enough to compete with the likes of AtariWriter. You'll have to trust
us, but you wont be disappointed!
