!StrtWrDem/!Help

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

File contents
The StartWrite application allows you to create, edit and
print documents containing text and graphic images. More
than one documents can be open at the same time.

Selected text can be moved or copied within the same
document or to a different StartWrite document.

Text attributes, including font, text size and colour can
be applied to the whole or selected parts of the document.

Graphic images can be imported from Draw and Paint.

This demonstration version shows all the facilities of
StartWrite, but does not permit saving of files, and
spell checking is not available. For copyright reasons,
this demonstration uses the Trinity font as the default
font rather than the Primary font (which is supplied
with StartWrite).

Primary is � 1992 The Electronic Font Foundry.
