Friendly Face
THE FRIENDLY FACE microdrive utility, from Monitor, is intended to provide a user-friendly software interface between the user and a microdrive.
It is designed so that it can be MERGEd into your programs and will then give a standardised method of LOADIng and SAVEing to tape or drive.
Included with the standard form are two additional versions designed to be MERGEd with Tasword 2 from Tasman Software and Masterfile from Campbell Systems.
Part of the Friendly Face advertising claims that it "adds microdrive commands to Basic". Perhaps someone should tell the company that all the microdrive commands are already in Basic.
If you are experiencing difficulty becoming used to a microdrive, this program may be of some use but £7.95, or £14.95 on cartridge, for a 1K Basic program is scarcely good value.
