 " Brief description                
 text editors "   
   
 In this article I would like to consider 
dig several text editors under 
ZX-SPECTRUM platform. Or rather WINWORD, 
EDITOR and WORDSTAR. All these editors are 
written for different operating systems:   
                                          
 1.WINWORD - text editor for       
             TR-DOS operating system: 
 2.EDITOR - under IS-DOS:                   
 3.WORDSTAR - under SR/M:                   
                                          
     Each of them is good in its own way.       
                                          
             ZX-WINWORD v2.1              
         (OBERON CREATIVE RASK)           
  (last revision date 18.1O.1997)    
                                          
                                          
  An interface for MS-DOS has been implemented. Also 
it has a number of possibilities, very 
making life easier for the USER. Convenient file- 
The whole menu is one of the advantages 
this editor. In the version I tested 
ted, it was possible not to observe the work 
editor with a printer, which is imho 
his main obligation. And the main thing is not 
prosperityof this editor are - 
Yaverts.  Well, in total - useful 
you can fight.

  The second editor isthe one in which I 
right now I am, that is 
my preference is his.

 In general, there is no point in talking about him, so 
how it is molded exclusively from one 
advantages.  Its capabilities will satisfy 
the most demanding "printers".     
 It has the following functions:                   
   Block operations                       
    Search and Replace                       
     Parameter settings                 
      Text Formatting               
 Macros                           
        Calculator, etc.               
 There are also modes:                       
   41/62 characters on screen                  
    Pseudographics, etc.

  The third editor on the list has been implemented 
under not all available SR/M, since 
he(editor) is one of many 
software products written under 
computer "QUORUM".                            
  The WordStar editor is perhaps the best 
a powerful word processor developed 
for 8-bit computers with operating systems 
using the SR/M-8O system.  Russified 
versions of this editor called TT and 
REFOR have been widely used on computer 
rah of the Robotron 1715 series when creating 
personal documentation.                
  The editor has advanced tools 
preparing, storing and printing text 
documents.                               
  During the editing process it is possible to use 
use of 4 assistance modes, which 
provide different levels of distribution 
precise information, quite sufficient for 
familiarization and training in working with editing 
rom even without reading this manual.  
  On Quorum, the editor can work in 
two video system modes that differ 
screen width in characters:                
    51 - when working withTV in   
         display quality:                
    64 - work mainly on the monitor.   
                                          
  The disadvantage of the editor is the lack of 
ability to display texts when they are 
typing in two registers at once - Russian and 
Latin                                
                                          
 This article is not aimed at your re- 
the urge to knock texts on another re- 
daktor.  Every user knocks texts there, 
where he wants/likes to stuff his 
memoirs/opuses.                            
                                          
        Well, that's the end.....Blessings to you...
