Description
A desktop publishing program for VAX/VMS, sold to small businesses by Lucia Fischer.
Provenance
Deposited by Ferro Corporate Archive, which had held it unread for years. The tape had stretched near its start; the first blocks were repaired by hand from the sampled signal. About 64 percent of the data could be read; the gaps are mapped.
