Default "Tasword PC" Anyone ?

Good grief that goes back a way, even for 2012.
I used to have the software on a Spectrum back in the 80s and also had the
pc version which ran on dos.
It was fine as far as it went but it is not a what you see is what you get
program, you still need control characters and it used epson control codes
on dot matrix printers so could not print to modern printers at all, not
even in 2012, I know cos i tried it.

I'd suggest anyone who wants to save memory looks at Jarte by Caroliner
Road Software instead. And this is today in 2016.

I am looking for some software called "Tasword PC" by Tasman Software.

I used this years ago before Windows 95 came onto the scene. It ran in
Microsoft DOS. I have an old laptop with not much memory which I would
like
it for.

Can anyone help please.?

Kindest regards,

Tasword PC was available, as was Tasword PC 2. One was very similar to
Tasword 128 (ZX Spectrum) the other quite different in many respects. My
Father and I used these programs extensively back in the early 1990's and I
should still have a copy of Tasword PC on an old hard drive somewhere.

Note: This is a proper MS DOS version, not a Zx Spectrum emulation.
