Anyone here use it/remember it?

I did, when I was little. It carried some DOS games programmed in GWBASIC-style BASIC, some money management utilities, and other cool stuff.

It can be found on the Underdogs. I downloaded it and it went extremely fast on my P1.

It's really old, and was spread around a fair bit, I doubt it would have shown up in Croatia (or anywhere in Europe for that matter) back when the main way to give people software was 5.25" floppies.

It was pretty much a package system, with menus, a tutorial so you can learn about the computer itself, it's the excellent starter kit for an old DOS machine, with lots of small programs.

That helped me learn BASIC, as I heavily studied the source code as a boy, I even modified the programs for a few laughs. :laugh:
