Valdocs
influenced the perception and image of the machine.
That. All the QX10 conversion jobs I've ever received have been for
valdocs documents. Nothing, in the way of accounting, process conrol,
etc. I can do accounting on many word processors, but they're still
fundamentally word processors.
Have you ever read the technical manual for the QX10?
It appears there were 2 keyboards sold for it. One had Valdocs-specific
keys, the other (which seems more common over here, not that the QX10
is a common machine) doesn't and was used for a more standard
CP/M system.
I see absolutely no reason why the latter could not run spreadsheets,
accounting programs, language compilers/interpreters, etc.
