1stWord+ modifications

This modifies 1stWord+ v2.01 (supplied with The Learning Curve) to have slightly nicer templates, and high-resolution sprites.
The !Run file is modified to claim an 800K WimpSlot for those larger documents (amazingly, 1stWord+ seems unable to handle dynamic memory allocation!).
A printer driver for the Epson Stylus 800 (monochrome version) is supplied. It should work with other, similar, printers.

Digitiser

A module that interfaces with the HCCS Vision digitiser in simple mono mode. May be useful for security applications, a switch connected to a control line on your serial port gets the module to grab a frame... Can also be used for on-demand WebCams.
This version of 'digitise' should work in most (if not all) 256 colour screen modes, though it assumes rectangular pixels so is best utilised in MODE 15. Use OS_SpriteOp to convert to a half-size MODE 27 sprite to save space without too much of a drop in resolution.

digi.zip (6K)	Version 1.00 24th August 1997	Digitiser module v1.00. This is highly incompatible with RiscPCs as it assumes the base address of the screen area, MODE number, etc... ONLY download this program if you have a pre-RiscPC machine and version 1.03 doesn't work for you...
