D.I.Y. Typewriter

To run D.I.Y. Typewriter, type:
RUN"DIYTYPE"

This program sets up the CPC464 as a simple to use editing typewriter system (a poor person's word processsing system). It was developed in house by our very own Ivor Spital, and provides facilities to store and retrieve text to cassette or disc, cut and insert lines, re-type lines of text, and display on screen in the 'what you see is what you get' format.

It's user-friendly with menu prompts at the top of the screen. There's a panic feature that gets you out to the main menu without loss of data - simply press [ESC] twice, then the small [ENTER] key on the Numeric Keypad to return to the menu. The program does not feature a full screen editor, but uses the same facilities as the BASIC line editor. Each line is numbered, and the menu functions manipulate text by use of this index number.

NOTES:
1. Don't use double quote marks when the document is to be stored onto TAPE or DISC. The computer interprets these as delimiters, and will terminate the line at the first set of quote marks.
2. When storing the file to DISC, make sure that the filename chosen conforms to the AMSDOS and CP/M standard of up to eight permitted characters, plus a three character subscript, eg ABCDEFGH.DOC
3. To clear a document that has been printed or filed, press [ESC] twice and re-RUN the program. Press the small [ENTER] key if you want to return without wiping off the document in memory.
4. During text input, typing E on its own at the beginning of a line then pressing [ENTER], will return you to the menu.

The program operates with all Centronics interface printers. If you are using an EPSON compatible printer with features such as paper out sensing and auto form feeds, you may wish to override these functions by removing the REM statements in lines 322-326.

As you've already discovered, this program works with either a Green Screen Monitor or a Colour Monitor. However, this setting is only available when you RUN the program.
