Software Review: The Worx!

Review of ‘The Worx!’ (by Artel S. Fratlich and David C. Ridge, Novelsoft), a desktop utilities suite for TS2068/Spectrum. Covers all nine modules: Planner (appointment scheduler with 40 activities), Notepad (text editor, 20 lines/file), Telephone directory (50 entries), Calculator (arithmetic + five functions + programmable), Decision maker (paired permutation ranking), Biorhythm chart, real-time clock with world time zones, System I/O with RAM disc (‘Filer’ for up to 5 virtual files), and Quit/customize. Highly recommended at $19.95; suggests adding mailing labels, direct dialing, and more virtual file slots in future versions.
