This big computer was a wordprocessor system and had everything built-in: monitor, disk-drives and printer.
|
||
|
||
The printer, mounted on top of the case, could print 30 characters per second.
|
||
|
||
The wordprocessor software enabled to define tabulations, paragraphs and left/right margins. All kind of editing functions were available : delete, insert and replace characters, words, lines or paragraphs. Underlining, automatic central adjustment, tables with horizontal and vertical lines were also possible...
|
||
|
||
Several texts could be easily merged into one file. The system automatically indexed the files in alphabetical order (wow!).
|
||
|
||
Another feature of the Alpha Plus was its ability to be connected to a database system.
|
||
|
||
Thanks to **Michel Fidder** for the pictures.
