Type in magazine listings by the simple act of reading? This small black box is a new and exciting product for the 48k Spectrum from the Zlotny Laboratories of Plovdiv, Bulgaria, and it allows you to do all these things and more. 2 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 2 *b4 sh ? 2 (cont. page 97) 2 Word-Master from is the only word-processor compatible with the interface. I found I could type up to seven hundred words per minute by thought power alone, though occasional random thoughts did stray into the text. This is pretty impressive compared to my usual one-fingered keyboard jabbing, and could well make keyboards redundant altogether... 2 The interface comes with three pages of photocopied instructions and a small scalpel for fitting. One end connects into the Spectrum expansion port, the other (after relatively minor and almost pain-free surgery) into your pre-frontal lobes. One disadvantage of this is that you are left with a large jack-socket in the middle of your forehead. 2 After fitting, I tried the interface with several of the top ten games, and was astonished at the results. Since the interface interacts directly with the central nervous system, gaining points or completing a game produce spasms of ecstasy (and various other quite exciting sensations). On the other hand, losing a life causes excruciating agony. This certainly encourages you to improve your gameplay! 2 2 1 ypeliner 4) 1 typeliner! 5081 1 text demo 1620 S 1 text demo 1529 1 text demo 1 text 1636 c 1 save! 156 1 page 2 924 1 lSLba`PpPhh(442221)) 1 graffix sh ?< 1 g section in the manual for a description of what is going on here.

This appears to be switching between 3/18ths and 4/18ths spacing in the preview, though in the final print the spacing will be perfectly regular. 1 And back to the R-Light font. If you print this, you will see that the difference between 3/18ths and 2/18ths spacing is rather severe. What's needed is something in between. You can add a 36th to the spacing by adding the "/" character immediately after the number in the >sp command, like this: 1 <TZXed by Mike Baker 19/6/04 1 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 1 8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 1 8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 1 888888888888888888 1 888888888888 1 61 School Street 1 222444((hpppabddIV 1 128k Plus 3 1 128k Plus 2 1 1280 V1.0 (C) Cardex 1987 1 / -note on the line above the use of font 3, 1 ...shows how different line spacings can be produced with Typeliner.

At the main input, type "DemoText", then go back to the main input again and type "DemoPage" to use the page layout for this demo. 1 The text so far has all been produced in the R-Light font, with a line spacing of 3/18th's. You can see the effect of this in the page preview. Notice that the lines are all regularly spaced. To set a 4/18th's spacing, the command: 1 The >F command is also demonstrated here, to split the text into the required sections. 1 If you print this out you will notice that even though the text is very densely packed, the lines are not actually touching each other. This is because the Mini font is specially designed for this line spacing, and is slightly "shorter" than the others. Now, to return to 3/18ths spacing: 1 Compare these spacings as shown in the preview with the diagrams in the manual. 1 And now all the text is produced in this wider line spacing. The difference between these two spacings sizes is clearly visible in the page preview. Again, the lines are regularly spaced. 1 All versions of Word-Master are supplied on cassette for immediate back-up to the required storage device.
