Description
Kingsoft's "Deutscher Zeichensatz" (transl.:"German Charset") was launched approximately in 1986. By that time, the Plus/4 had become quite popular in Germany. A omplete Beginner's Kit – Plus/4 + 1531 + manuals + Basic training cassette – was distributed at the attractive price of 229 DM by the discounter ALDI. Since the 3+1 software was disappointing to some degree, Script/Plus and Calc/Plus with their professionality attracted a lot of users. The original Script/Plus (Precision Software Ltd.) was available in English only. Kingsoft's German Charset therefore was dedicated specially to the Script/Plus users. In 1989, a hacked German version of Script/Plus was launched and distributed widely within the Plus/4 community. This hack provided the German characters, so the Kingsoft product had become redundant over night.
