When I wrote kiddie software in 1984-1985, we used to support it, even
here in the States. We wrote stuff like "Micro Mother Goose", published
under the Reader's Digest software label. I still have the C-64 source
from what I did. Can't seem to find any distributions. :-(

Unfortunately for me, I never worked on the Beeb (so I have no docs or
code and never did). Two other guys at the company were the experts (we
had 100% Apple expertise, 30% C-64 expertise and <20% Beeb expertise).
