TBI POOL UPDATE
Thanks again to all the members who
have contributed by sending in
disksful of PD software that they have
obtained; it looks like the TBI
section is going to continue growing
indefinitely!
Note that to order TBI software you
must:
Enclose enough extra formatted disks
for the software you want
Enclose an ADDITIONAL 10p for each
disk you want copied (50p NON MEMBERS)
Send enough return P&P to get the
whole lot back to you.
N.B.: if an item is listed as "DFS 80T
SS" and you are using an 80T DS drive,
you can order ***another*** DFS 80T SS
item on the other side of the same
disk, i.e. get TWO items for just one
disk and 10p (50p NON MEMBERS).

Software apparently intended for use
in Adult Literacy courses (vocabulary
practice etc.), possibly useful for
Primary School English etc. *** DFS
80T SS ***
TBI-02
Disk from Red Shift PD; games by
Bazzasoft/Adrian Jackson. Some of
these fail on my Master 128, and some
of those that work aren't much good;
there is also a D&D NPC designer as
well, apparently. Worth a look though:
*** DFS 80T SS ***
TBI-03 *** TWO DISKS REQUIRED ***
Small C compiler and notes.

in order to read the disks. See issue
14 for an old version of HADFS to
allow you to read these disks.

the excellent Knight Rider mix and
some ripped-off TYB stuff.

THE XBI SECTION
These disks are only available to
members who can read ADFS L disks. It
is a way of getting a very large
amount of PD software for a very small
amount of money!
The details of the disks from BBC PD,
indicated by their catalogue numbers
below, will be found in the BBC PD
catalogue, included with issue 20 - I
suggest you look through it and work
out what you want (or just order
everything; it doesn't cost that
much!)
XBI-01
Mad Rabbit PD's MR-17 - Big Disk of
BASIC Music. About 110 tunes, well
over 600K of music.
XBI-02
NOT YET AVAILABLE - will hopefully be
MR-18, another 110 tunes
XBI-03
Massive US shareware C tutorial (BBC
PD 48) + X-TEL, a MODE 7 system
(screen designer etc.) originally from
Red Shift PD.
XBI-04 BBC PD 70, 92, 107
XBI-05 BBC PD 7, 39, 94
XBI-06 BBC PD 12, 83
XBI-07 BBC PD 38, 71, 105
XBI-08 BBC PD 49, 96
XBI-09 BBC PD 108, 109
XBI-10 BBC PD 29, 47, 62, 101
XBI-11 BBC PD 2, 33, 106
XBI-12 BBC PD 18, 54, 110
XBI-13 BBC PD Catalogue & Sampler
Disk + BBC PD 55. (C&S disk currently
very out of date - my fault)
If you order any of XBI-04 to XBI-13,
you will have to use DIRCOPY or any
other similar program to copy each BBC
PD catalogue item from its separate
directory on the disk into the $
directory of another ADFS disk in
order to use the BBC PD menus. For
example, the $ directory of XBI-08
contains two directories, $.49 and
$.96. $.49 contains everything from
BBC PD disk 49 and $.96 contains
everything from BBC PD disk 96.
An option with some of the XBI PD
disks is to use Hugh William's DIRlock
utility from issue 21 as an
alternative to copying the disks onto
more blanks to run them.
