Description
A desktop publishing program for Unix workstations, written by Aster Software for small businesses.
Provenance
Rescued from a skip outside a former office in Cedarmore. The tape had stretched near its start; the first blocks were repaired by hand from the sampled signal. Most of the work survives, but some files are lost. The damage map lists them.
