Description
A database for MS-DOS, sold to libraries by Lau Interactive.
Provenance
Bought as part of a box of disks at an estate sale and donated anonymously. The dye layer had begun to fail at the outer edge; the last sectors came from a second read in a different drive. Most of the work survives, but some files are lost. The damage map lists them.

Access
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-DOS-12, from a read-only copy of the recovered image, as it would have on MS-DOS.
