Published in Home Computing Weekly #58

A very rapid machine code program for storing up to 400 full names, addresses, post codes and phone numbers and retrieving them to order. OCP has 42 characters per line onto the screen instead of 32, and entries and alterations are made by moving the cursor to the required point, then typing. Your input appears in the right place, instead of the bottom two lines.

Though not set up for Microdrives, the program can load and save files of data to order from the menu. An additional, and very useful feature, is that each name can have up to three identifying codes attached and the address list sorted by these attributes.

The output is where the Plus 80 comes in. This will drive a Centronics printer through the Kempston interface to produce full 80 columns and thus double width, double height and alternative type faces, onto plain paper, labels and so on. It won't however, drive the ZX Printer, you need the £9.95 version for that.
