Description:

This software program, Proofreader, was released in 1981 by Aspen Software Company for the TRS-80 Model I microcomputer. The package includes three 5.25” disks and a registration card. It is enclosed in a plastic bag with a price sticker of $54.00 ($150 in 2019 dollars).

Proofreader was a spellcheck program that worked with all TRS-80 operating systems and all popular CP/M word processors. An advertisement for the program in InfoWorld stated it could check a document of 20 pages or more in less than five (5) minutes.
