Brought up fake text for a PC? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

doc

'text for a pc?' is the definition.
(document)

'brought up fake' is the wordplay.
'brought up' says the letters should be written backwards (in a down clue, letters go up).
'fake' becomes 'cod' (cod can mean false or inauthentic).
'cod' backwards is 'DOC'.

(Other definitions for doc that I've seen before include "Quack" , "Medic, in short" , "bones" , "Disney dwarf" , "Medical practitioner (abbr)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
