Word Factory 4

Coastal Schools Software Unit, 1990. Educational software for the Apple II.

Description

Classroom software for the Apple II, written by Coastal Schools Software Unit for secondary pupils.

Provenance

Sent to Lazarus by post, with a note asking whether anything could be saved. The disks had been stored beside a loudspeaker, and one track on each was weak. Only fragments could be read. They are kept because nothing else of the work survives.
