Development sounds similar to Mini Office II, starting as a disk package then a ROM only version. I believe Gemini produced something similar too.It started life as a BBC micro package on disk and then we converted it to run as much from Roms as possible, if I remember you need the other Roms to actually use the programs, the payroll in particular still required a disk for the annual updates for the UK on the 6th April for the new tax year, I remember taking a hundreds if not a few thousand of those to the UK post office in Biggleswade where HCCS was based.
So we are still missing much of the package unfortunately.
Was the package advertised anywhere? I've searched the usual Micro User and Acorn User around 1986 and found no mention of it. This topic is the first that anyone has seemed to have heard about it.I don't have the source code or roms unfortunately, I am surprised it hasn't popped up before now but then it was probably a modest application, at that time we had other competitors in the space, it probably sold more locally around Bedfordshire.
