From my recent purchase of Microbee material there was an original disk of SOMERLEYTON CENSUS and its manual. The disk was a standard Microbee 5.25" DS40 disk that's auto-booting and with no copy protection. The disk imaged 100% error free on a Floppyio. The manual was A5 in size and 42 pages long.
The program was produced by the Schools Computing Branch of the Education Department of Western Australia and released by Wesoft in 1987. It was written by B V Cross who also wrote Birds of Antarctica, First Fleet and many others. The opening screen is
but unfortunately they spelt SOMERLEYTON incorrectly with two M's. However, they got it right on the floppy disk label.
Somerleyton Census is a collection of information about 625
people who were living in the village of Somerleyton in Suffolk,
England, at the time of the 1851 census. The manual is written
to guide first time users through the initial stages of the
Somerleyton Census data base.
So in the MbeeTech Repository in the Microbee\Software\Education folder we placed
somerleyton_census_ds40.dsk
somerleyton_census.pdf <--- in Documentation\Manuals\Education folder
