!Info

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

This program is quite different from any other I've seen. CDT teachers will
find it will give students some valuable problem solving activities to help
develop lateral thinking, as well as giving them the opportunity for some
problem creation. Edward de Bono would love this. A full review is in the
July 1994 issue. 

The file in this folder will only work with Prime Solver - so if you want to
use this free gift, go and buy it!

ProbsFile contains four problems ranging from very easy to tricky.
