Karin Smit, 1987. Application software for the BBC Micro.

Description

A route planner for the BBC Micro, written by Karin Smit for sales representatives.

Provenance

Rescued from a skip outside a former office in Port Brookvale. 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.
