Shrink — MPC Software

Floppy IMG derived from archived files. Mount as FLP1 and boot using Minerva 1.98a1 ROM, 2048 KiB emulator RAM and Toolkit II 2.32. Started the conversation simulator and entered three test sentences. The program accepts text, produces replies and returns to its prompt; preserved the conversation screen. Not every response or dialogue condition was tested. Basic functional check in sQLux, not full validation or a physical-hardware test. Audio untested. ROMs are not included.
