Aha! SU Towers hass been bombarded by tons of SAM software ever since Big Al' said he'd give it coverage if anything decentarrived along. Well it did. An arcade game creation package and a WP. Don't rely on others for your games - check out SCADs, and write your own. And while you're on the job why not get down to a bit of word processing. The pen is mightier than the sword but the computer keyboard is... (oh shut up and get on with it...) New kid on the block and McDonalds Happy Meal fancier Tom Guise checks out the story.

Billed as THE Sam Coupe Word Processor by its developers, Chezron Software, Outwrite is certainly a decent shot at the title.

Perhaps the most attractive feature of the package is the sheer simplicity of the whole thing, it s just so easy to use. But don't go thinking that means it's just a basic package with limited capabilities, it isn't.

Mimicking the kind of software produced for business machines like the PC and MAC, it performs very well in this capacity with its easy to use window files and a veritable mountain load of options and facilities encompassing all the standard features to be expected of a good word cruncher, such as line and paragraph justification and even a 33,000+ word spell checker and font designer.

Almost instantly usable, anyone from an expert user of word processing software to a complete beginner will find Outwrite of considerable benefit and more so, a complete joy to use.

Interestingly, all of Outwrite's operating files are easily user updateable making it a system that won't become inept in a hurry. The whole package has been well designed and is an extremely polished product. If you're looking for a decent word processor for your SAM, you really can't go far wrong with this. It's definitely one of the best WP's I've run my words through in a long time.
