Flair is a modern Windows teletext editing software
package specifically designed to make the task of
page creation and editing as easy as possible.
Flair runs
on a standard 486 spec PC (or better) fitted with
at least 8Meg RAM and a VGA display configured for
800 x 600 or higher resolution (256 colours).
Flair uses

workstation and teletext system depends on the teletext
