Description
A spreadsheet for IBM mainframes, sold to small businesses by Stratasoft.
Provenance
Bought as part of a box of disks at an estate sale and donated anonymously. The tape was sticky with binder breakdown and was baked at low temperature before a single careful read. Most of the work survives, but some files are lost. The damage map lists them.
