Has anyone heard of an "Amstrad" wordprocessor? My friend, who is a writer and a total computer novice, bought one and is trying to learn how to use it. Apparently it is made in Jolly Old England. It uses "Locomotive" software with "Locascript". It uses odd sized floppy discs which are in a Sony-like hard case of 3 1/8 by 3 7/8 inches. It also seems to use the CP/M operating system, which is hidden from the user. I don't like it, because the screen has a rather low resolution, and the floppies seem to be non-standard. With CP/M, the locomotive in the software is steam driven, I am sure. :-) Cheers, Bernd <Bernard> UUCP: ...!sdcsvax!sdcc12!wa371, Internet: wa371%sdcc12@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu FAX: (619)569-8296
