    THE

    Includes the following package by TRI-MICRO:


    Word Processor
    Spreadsheet
    Graphics Utilities
    Data Manager

    I believe this package was excluded in the 264 (No major loss)
    Too bad the Word Processor is not ASCII compliant, or I MIGHT USE IT!

    
The Plus / 4 Internal software cheat sheet!!!

The Integrated software package, designed by TRI-MICRO

To execute the software package on the Plus/4, press (F1)

**** About the Word Processor ****

Word Processor:
Hit F1 after bootup.
Hit RETURN to enter 4-in-1 Package
You're in!  The Word Processor is default.

-The word processor can only handle 99 lines of text. (lame)
-Carriage return key is displayed. (yuck)
-It does not produce standard ASCII files.
      (This makes it totally useless to me.)
-Cut & Paste is supported.

If you want a system-specific wordprocessor, this is it!
