ECHO                               WELCOME
ECHO                 To the PC PLUS Software Supplement
ECHO.
ECHO This month's software supplement brings you a working demonstration of
ECHO NewStar software's new word processor, 'Multiwriter'. This program
ECHO started life as 'NewStar 4', but has undergone some major enhancements
ECHO since we reviewed it in the May issue of 'PC PLUS'.
ECHO.
ECHO As well as this there's a program to download alternative character sets
ECHO to your printer, a patch program for those who like to wander through their
ECHO PC's memory, a batch file to delete more than one file at a time and a
ECHO lifesaving routine to resurrect files when you find you've deleted the
ECHO wrong ones! On the lighter side, there's a full featured board game called
ECHO Join 4 and the BASIC 2 adventure that was squeezed off last month's disc.
ECHO.
ECHO The Software Supplement can make you money too. We are looking for top
ECHO quality utilities and programs to put on this disc each month, and will pay
ECHO anything from £10 for a simple batch file, right up to £500 for a full
ECHO blown star program. These programs can be anything up to 200K in length,
ECHO but we will be paying for quality, not quantity!
ECHO.
ECHO While every effort is made to ensure that programs supplied in the Software
ECHO Supplement work as described, Future Publishing can accept no liability for
ECHO loss or corruption of programs or data caused by their use.
