Full Office While the ZX Spectrum word processor Tasword II (and later versions from Tasman Software) are very well known products the surprisingly comprehensive spread sheet software from the same software house is almost unknown: Tascalc. The software itself is Continue reading Tasmanian Spread
The Servant While scanning through my more than 30 years old ZX Microdrive cartridges I found stuff that is already available at the ususal ZX Spectrum archive sites (World of Spectrum or ZXDB). Nevertheless there is still room for improvement! Continue reading Typed Gem
