Downloadable Disk Images - Programs on the Word Processing disk
This disk contains a couple of programs. The "Lazywriter" suite, Tandy's Scripsit, Electric Pencil and Microsoft's typing Tutor. Scripsit was the very first word processor I used when I had a cassette-based system. I also used a patched version with the Exatron Stringy Floppy.
Lazywrite delivered the goods when I used with my disk-based System 80, and served me right up until I bought my first PC-XT clone in 1987.

| Scripsit v 1.0 (scripsit/lc) | Tandy's Word Processor
and the first one available on the TRS-80, Model 1. The original
program came with an audio training package. I've included a reference sheet, linked to the title opposite. |

| Electric Pencil v 1.0 | The original Electric Pencil by Michael Shrayer (1979). This early version was very simple, with about the same functionality of Scripsit v 1.0. | pencil/cmd |
| Typing Tutor (tutor/bas) | Microsoft's Typing Tutor (1979). A program that teaches you how to touch type. I wish I'd persisted with it! | basic run"tutor/bas" |
