The Don Maslin Sofware Archive

[Geoffrey Thomas]

I think you should all take heart from the fact that the collection is still
there. Certainly the way to go is along the lines of " Please don't lose all
of Don's work ". I recall quite a few years ago a friend of mine had a
grandfather who was the keeper of an old archive of herbal remedies in a
village quite a way to the north. The whole farming community used to call
around with their ills and he would fix them up with a remedy.
The archive consisted of lots of tiny "scrolls" of paper kept in a chest of
drawers - each drawer having numerous little compartments - one for each
little scroll of paper.
When he died his wife went to the archive and threw the lot on the fire.
They never knew why.
Tread softly.

Geoff.
