I am looking for anyone who has a data disk for Personal Records File,
which is a unique, preformatted data disk, that was paired with
Personal Records File by IWS Software of Cypress, CA in 1984. I have
the original Program Disk and an original Data Disk, but the data disk
is kaput and the program does not work without the specially formatted
data disk.
I can tell you from looking at the XB Program Disk code that the data
disk is named "D" and the file is named "TADA". As you can see from
the XB code below, there are also several records that appear to be
'reserved' for something? Any help in locating this data disk would be
appreciated. I would hate for this unique piece of software to be lost
in the shuffle of time, but without the data disk, the program is
headed that way.

If you mail me the original diskette, I'd be happy to retrieve what
data I can from it.
