Description
A planet program for secondary pupils, made for classroom use on MS-DOS.
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. Most of the work survives, but some files are lost. The damage map lists them.
