Description
A desktop publishing program for the BBC Micro, written by Quill Software for schools.
Provenance
Transferred from the backlog of unread media at a partner archive. The tape had stretched near its start; the first blocks were repaired by hand from the sampled signal. Independent reads agree bit for bit.

Free, in the Lazarus reading room in Vancouver and in partner reading rooms. The license does not permit copies to be taken away.
In the reading room it runs in emulation under profile LZE-BBC-5, from a read-only copy of the recovered image, as it would have on the BBC Micro.
