Ken:
I notice that the designated series numbers seem to vary ... i.e.  the Home
Calculation Program book that *I* have is designated VT-107A.  Wonder, does
a new number imply an improvement over past versions ... like WordPerfect
5.2 which followed the *ultimate* DOS version - WP 5.1 ... anyhow,
I seem to have here (now that I've started an inventory on the bucketsfull
of stuff that I've retreived from my storage locker ... don't ask ... my
wife suddenly realised the amount I'd been paying per month for the
privilege of preserving history?). another title that may have been
overlooked.

Recreation Program Pack VT-106-A containing the following 6 casettes:
Blue Meanies from Outer Space
Biorythm/Compatability
Car Chase
Slither/Super Slither
Space Math
VIC 21 Casino Style Blackjack
