When I was at Preston Poly, they had bbc b's in the library running as
dumb terminals connected to the library databaseon the PRIME mainframe,
of course one of the first things I did was drop it into BASIC and save
a copy of the ROM to my portable tape recorder :-) I also used to write
software at home and upload it via them beeb's to my account on the
PRIME mainframe.

I've emailed a copy of LPDFS to Mike, anyone else want a copy ?

Cheers Wookie.
