Text87 plus 4 – A Review

This review of text87 plus 4 is being written using text 87. I rarely turn on my QL without using text87 for something. This doesn’t mean I’m always writing letters. I also use text87 to find information. I have a 1.2 MByte file containing all the zip codes of cities in the United States. To find a zip code when you only know the city use text87 on that ASCII file. It finds the zip code in that file as fast as you enter the command. I can’t imagine going back to Quill again. Getting to this comfort level with text87 took some serious effort. This program had me frustrated during the learning curve more than most software I own. The frustration is well worth it though. Once you understand the organization of the program, you will not want to go back.
