"VIDEOs" system by Probact Computers

[RWAP]

I have come across a couple of cartridges containing the "VIDEOs" system, designed by and written by Jeffrey Moine of Probact Computers Ltd, Brighton in 1985 (although copyright goes through to 1991)

This is basically a suite of Archive programs for cataloging videos and recordings.

Unfortunately, one of the program files is corrupt (as is so often the case)...

Has anyone ever come across this before?

I have actually found Mr Moine on the internet and am now emailing him - he doesn't remember giving this out to anyone and it was not commercial, so I will see if I can get a fully working copy for PD release.

Could you use this for DVDs? I know a certain somebody on here has 100s of kung fu DVDs.

yes but they would be all labelled under K

Well the author has agreed to make this available public domain and is sending me what copies he has so fingers crossed I can rescue the missing files.

He also has a stamp collection set of routines which he will send.

So ideal for Kung Fu films and The Postman Always Rings Twice!

Hello Rich.

is there anything new about VIDEOs?

That was 12 years ago - I never received anything unfortunately!

I doubt that I have my emails from back then
