- Scriptor
- EDIT.BAS
- WRDPRO.BAS
- Quick Word Processing System

I always try and publish my transcriptions of BASIC software for support on as many systems as possible.
Usually this means I opt for software that does not use exotic features of the system on which BASIC might be running--character and text-based games and software.

Really cool.

The Laser Pistol is a favourite of the Auxiliary, requiring Light Firearms skill to use. Some Medics and Scouts are also trained in its use. It causes less damage than the Laser Rifle but can be used at closer quarters. #starcadre #ibmpc #msdos #cga
