In late 1993 I was contacted by Chris Stanbury, the owner of a Small
computer company to let them use my database for a CD-ROM. Originally
it was rock record that was going to be in the CD ROM but at my suggestion
I offered what data that could be recovered from the floppies for Single
file could be included.
Despite the fact that they had been stored in a cupboard for about 5
years on loads of 5 1/4 floppies all but one of the disks worked. These
singles were stores in a slightly different format and it took me several
months to merge them into the main database. The albums from RockRom
6 and Single File were added to Hounsome's Rockbase. It was release over
18 months after the contract started.. My database was kept in Foxpro
and was imported into access 2, so that they could use a visual basic
for the program. It seems that very few of this version were sold by the
publisher and in the end they were remaindered. Many of my customers will
remember this as they may have bought a copy from me for under a tenner.
