Rainbow Writer Screen Enhancer

Dragon users, are you cheesed off with your low density screen displays and prehistoric graphics facilities? Then listen up, as this useful multi-featured utility is a must for all those wishing to scrag their micro's gruesome text display.

With a new user-definable 224 character set featuring real lowercase, slimline cursor, slashed zeros (gasp) and a host of handy graphics characters, this enhancer offers instant relief for frustrated hackers. It can be used in Basic and Machine Language programs with relative ease and offers up real options for eager authors.

The ability to produce text and hi-res graphics I found particularly exciting. Some visually exciting Dragon adventures may well be on the cards at last! Word procressing also becomes a lot more feasible. Its potential is huge. Although I have some doubts about the accompanying manual (Too lightweight by half!) the demo program and help screen feature make the thing refreshingly accessible.

Serious users will welcome it with open arms and novices might well be surprised when they get to fish around in it.
