Tasword
Tasword is a word processor for the ZX Spectrum developed by Tasman Software. The first version was released in 1982 and spawned two major revisions in addition to several add-ons and, later, tailored versions for the +2 and +3 Spectrum models, the SAM Coupé, the MSX, the Timex TC2068 and the Amstrad CPC range.
Many of the features of modern word processors were included, such as justification, word wrap and page header. Features such as bold text and italic type were achieved through sending special escape sequences to a printer.
It featured the ability to use a 64 characters per line font in the standard ZX Spectrum screen.
Add-on products included TasMerge for mail merge functionality (which was later included in Tasword III and later versions) and TasSpell for spell checker.

Desert
by: Desert[Verse 1:]
Fight!
Is it right?
When you’re alone in this desert
And the only thing around you
Is the ocean of sand
Die!
Or stay alive
You have the choice, you’ll have forever
But there’s no escape from it
It’s just illusion in your mind
[Chorus]
Great desert in your soul
Great desert will eat you all
Sun shines and kills you in the bottom
And there’s no way to get no water
[Verse 2:]
Try!
To survive!
But the miracle you’re waiting
Is the trap you have created
Find the will to eliminate it!
Cry!
Look up to the sky!
You’re praying God to help you
But mysterious are his ways
And he have brought you to this place
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
Find!
A thin line
That could bring you out and rescue
When you’re dying alone
In the depth of this desert
Strike!
With the sun
In your soul you’ll find the darkness
To protect your mind and body
From it’s killing light
