Minimicro software for pockets (Easi-Calc, Easi-Thought, Easi-Text, etc.)
I found an interesting article about Minimicro, who produced some commercial software for various Sharp pocket computers. One that particularly caught my eye was "Easi-Calc", described as a spreadsheet-type program for the PC-1211. Particularly impressive since that computer has a little over 1,400 bytes of user memory (okay, I'd be surprised if it's much more sophisticated than, say, the tabulator program for the HP-97, but you never know).
http://www.pc-1500.info/2014/11/04/easi-...minimicro/ Some of what I see mentioned in the article: Easi-Calc - Spreadsheet-like program Easi-Thought - Some kind of outliner/mind-mapping tool Easi-Note Easi-Trend Easi-One Easi-Text Does anybody have any surviving copies of any of these programs? I assume they all came on cassette tapes. The PC-1500 version of Easi-Thought is available for download from that article, but that's the only one I see. |

WAV files of the software (you can record them to cassette and CLOAD them) are here: http://www.pc-1500.info/2014/11/04/easi-...minimicro/ Tom L Cui bono? |
