Brun Word

Complete word processing package (disc) with word

BrunWord 6128 out performs all other word processors for

the CPC6128. Its high speed screen routine, gives it a very

ROM Module £125

The BrulWord ROM Module is a compact unit which

plugs directly onto the expansion socket of the

CPC6128 or 6128 Plus. It overcomes the memory

limitations of the CPC computer by incorporating the

entire Brun Word Elite system into one very high

capacity ROM (256K bytes). The module measures

three inches wide, half an inch thick and extends

just two and a half inches behind the computer.

On the ROM we have BrunWord Elite, Headline,

10 Headline fonts (including 'Chelmer and 'Clacton'),

8 fonts for downloading to a 24 pin printer,

BrunSpell, 30,000 word dictionary and Into-Script.

Second disc drives owners can have KDS ROMDOS

added (not 6128 plus) for E15 extra, and remember

that no ROM box is needed.

Very Serious

The BrunWord ROM Module is pertect tor the basic

mac hine, you need no other add oils. However,

anyone who has two disc drives knows the

frustration ol inserting a disc, asking to load a ﬁle

and being told that the other drive has no disc in it.

You simply forgot to inform the computer to change

over drives. You know there's no disc in the other

drive, the computer now knows, so what's the

problem? The software doesn't test both drives!!!

That 's now a thing of the past. The BrunWord ROM

Module will load from whichever drive has the disc in

it. it's simple and it's brilliant, and if your second

drive is a 3.5 inch, you can use the fast ﬁle system

whic h loads a 64K ﬁle into Info-Script in 7 seconds

or (with extra memory) a 256K ﬁle in 16 seconds.

Printing Pictures

The BrunWord ROM module has a host of new

features including ﬁve high quality, high speed

screen dump routines for 9 pin and 24 pin printers.

Thes e are special routines using the BrunWord Elite

8 bit printer status port and they print incredibly

fast compared to desk top publishers. This entire

page including the drawing, the large 'BrunWord',

the address, credit card symbols and Teddy, was

printed using the Brun Word ROM module and a wide

carriage 24 pin printer in one printing operation.

Relative Reverse

For printers with reverse (Amstrad DMP2I60, Star

LC10 etc), there are now three reference points. The

top of the page, the current print head position and

any point previously deﬁned within the text. The

print head can be moved to a relative position above

or below any of these references. This reﬁnement

coupled, with the new ability to control the box

reverse, make complex layouts much easier to

design and give faster, more efﬁcient printouts.

Small and Light

The BrunWord ROM Module has been made as small

and light as possible. When mounted directly onto

the computer it is very very reliable. You are likely

to damage the keyboard if you jolt it hard enough to

give problems. (Other ROM systems use an unwieldy

ROM box which can 'crash' with even the slightest

knock).
