I agree with Chris, but here is some information anyway if you
are still interested.

The Amstrad PCW book 1 (User Guide - CP/M, Logo & WordProcessor
Manual) refer on page 60 to Soft 971: A Guide to CP/M Plus.

Also I found an old book - sob sob  :-)

The Amstrad CP/M Plus
David Powys-Lylbe & Andrew R. M. Clarke
M.M.L. Systems
11 Sun Street
London
EC2M 2PS

ISBN 1 869910 05 2 (paper)
ISBN 1 869910 00 1 (ring)

It's from '86 and contains 50 pages with GSX calls.
