			== ROM Technical Details ==

			A separate technical manual was produced that could be obtained from Arnor. This was later recreated and uploaded to the [https://cpctech.cpcwiki.de/docs/proprog.html "Unofficial Amstrad WWW Resource"]

			This provided the following information:
			# Calls that can be made to PROTEXT which either return some information or perform some function.
			# Vectors that may be intercepted to change the operation of some feature of PROTEXT or to add a new feature.
			# Printer driver format.
			# PROTEXT key translation table
