Issue 31 of 8BS featured a new
catalogue printer. The catalogue file
supplied with the printout program was
all there but not in the correct order.
Page 57 was blank and page 64 had what
should have been on page 57. The
result was that the latest addition to
the catalogue was not presented very
well. For this reason I have included
this article. The Peter Davy software.
TBI-46 Educational Freeware. Exclusive to 8BS, these 5 discs
have 130 Adult Basic Education
programs on them. Written by
Peter Davy, for many years a
volunteer adult literacy tutor at
Wakefield College. Originally
supplied on 40T single sided
discs 8BS supplies the software
on 80T discs, two of the original
40T discs to each 80T side.
The Peter Davy software may also
be quite suitable for primary
school children.
Discs can be supplied in single
or double side format. Each entry
in the catalogue has two headings
EACH HEADING IS ONE 80T DFS SIDE.
When ordering single sided discs,
please state which disc numbers
you require. Each disc contains
full documentation. Peter Davy
asks that his programs are not
altered in any way. If you pass
his software on please inform him.
