*Supera* From Micro Demon,Inc. PO Box 50162 Columbia, SC 29250 Phone:803-733-0980 CIS 75515,1507 ---------------------------------- In his InfoWorld Review of Pro Aid, Reviewer Greg Springer said, "Pro Aid adds enough new capabilities to the current model that the wait for upgraded portability is made much easier and maybe unnecessary." Well, the Model 200 is here, but so is Supera! Supera takes a giant stride past Pro Aid, and makes the Model 100 into the computer it was meant to be. Once it is loaded, Supera interfaces itself with the operating system in your Model 100, and works transparently to you and your programs. It adds a great many features to your computer. If you want to remove it, it is as easy to take out as KILLing a BASIC program. ------- Moreover, because of its unique format, Supera is compatible with almost all currently available software and hardware. A lot of hype?? Well, consider that with Supera you: ------- 1.Get 26 new, super function keys, that are even more powerful and flexible than those of Pro Aid. These keys can be defined in TEXT as well as BASIC, and can be used in TEXT, BASIC, TELCOM, SCHEDL, & ADDRSS. Moreover, you can load and save sets of function keys by a simple control key action. Although each key is limited to 14 characters, you can concatenate keys to define much longer strings. -------- 2.In Text you can turn on a type-over mode in which characters replace the current text instead of being inserted. --------- 3.Pressing the F4 function key in TEXT turns on a multi-featured search and replace operation. You can choose to have case matter or not, you can use wildcard characters, you can start at the current cursor position or at the start of the file, and you can choose to have the replacements automatically made, or you can be prompted for each one. And it is VERY FAST. ------- 4.You can view a second file while editing a first. ------- 5.You can redefine special keys to produce SHIFTed keys, Control keys, or graphics characters. ------- 6.At the main MENU, place the cursor over a file name, and you can a.KILL it by pressing CTRL K b.Rename it by CTRL N c.Get its status by CTRL A ------- 7.In TEXT you can cause the display to slowly scroll up or down a line at a time. -------- 8.In TEXT you can delete words or lines by control key actions. -------- 9.In TEXT you can change the case of the character under the cursor by pressing CTRL K. -------- 10.In TEXT, you can activate the paste key by pressing CTRL J. -------- 11.You get a special calculator mode that simplifies doing immediate computations, and adds several new BASIC commands. In this mode, any expression that you type is evaluated at once. Also, while in the calculator, the ESC key produces a +, the TAB key a *, and the ' key a ^ All the Supera function keys work in calculator mode. -------- 12.Supera will produce automatic line numbers. -------- 13.Special BASIC commands can be carried out by pressing the proper control key in BASIC. -------- 14.You can access the built-in pgms by control keys. -------- 15.You can cause the computer to power down automatically in TEXT or in BASIC so that when you turn it back on, you will be exactly where you left off. ----------------- 16.ALL of Supera's TEXT enhancements can be used while EDITing a BASIC file. That's right - just type EDIT and all of type-over, search and replace, view mode, scrolling etc. are immediately usable. ----------------- *A Unique Format* ----------------- Supera is stored in your computer in a highly unique way. Although it is a machine language program, Supera loads and runs as if it were in BASIC! As a consequence, Supera is compatible with most other software and hardware presently available for the Model 100. We can't promise that Supera will work properly with your favorite software or hardware, but at worst you might have to turn Supera off once in awhile. Most people will seldom, if ever, have to turn Supera off except to remove it from the computer. By the way, Supera is as easy to remove as KILLing a BASIC program. * * * -------DOCUMENTATION--------- * * * Supera comes with a detailed manual and summary sheets of all the commands. The manual contains many examples of various ways to make the most out of Supera's Power. Supera sells for $79.95, ($49.95 to registered Pro Aid owners). Visa, MC check, money order, and COD are all accepted. For more information contact Micro Demon, Inc. at 803-733-0980 or write to Micro Demon, Inc.
