New MIA - KARTIK

I have seen a picture of a microdrive cartridge in the USA (unforuntately, it does not work) which appears to be a commercial offering.

Called KARTIK, the face label on the cartridge declares it as:
"KARTIK - A Family Cross Word Game. (c) WRC All Rights RESD DEMO VERSION

Does anyone know anything about this?

I have had a look through all my old catalogues of PD and commercial QL software and no mention of this. I can't find any reference to WRC - the closest I could imagine is that Bill Cable (William Cable) has the initials W.C.?

IIRC Bill Cable always traded as "Wood & Wind Computing", but it could be some early work. I don't recall any US QL vendor/developer that went by WRC. I've looked at some copies of Update and Time Designs magazines and did not find anything. I can search through some issue of IQLR if needed. I have a number of issues scanned already.

For catalogs, I would suggest checking for RMG Enterprises. He carried a lot of home-grown US software for the T/S 2068 and QL. If needed, I can dig a bit and see if I have any of these catalogs in my collection (might have been printed in a user group newsletter).
