Thanks to Chuck for making available an image of this disk. Originally supplied in IMG format which was then converted to a double sided 3.5" DSK format using ubeedisk.
The programs were written by John Marchington and was obviously a working disk. It consists of a number of pictures that can be drawn to the screen or sent to the printer, most Christmas related, in normal or inverse. There were also a number of multi page banners that can be printed in a long strip of multiple pages. A dot matrix printer with tractor feed paper required for these.
The disk autoboots to XMASPICK.MWB which gives a menu of the few pictures you can print or view. If you exit the menu, you can load & run these for the banners:
HAPPYK.MWB - Happy New Year
MRRYXMSK.MWB - Merry Christmas
SEASONSK.MWB - Seasons Greetings
There are also some PCG generation programs, converters and others, lots to play with.
Not sure where to place this, but in the MbeeTech folder in the Microbee\Software\Education folder we placed
xmas_pictures_banners_ds80.dsk
