    Cases such as these are a bit tricky, really. It's easy for a company to say '<company> software' to denote 'software from <company>'.
    In fact, we have many, many such cases...

    Does not compute. (read: Errr...???)

    In some of those mag references the company NAME is mentioned as "South Coast Software" ... what's tricky about that? ([strike]still don't quite understand what you mean[/strike] maybe I do but do not see it being so in this case.)

    Reading that back, I see my reply was indeed rather devoid of any clue, sorry. :-)

    What I meant is as follows. Compare it to looking at a movie, and see credits such as

    An Amblin Entertainments production (for a movie production)

    A Viacom company (for a company)

    Neither 'production' nor 'company' are part of the names.
    Likewise,

    South Coast software (for a piece of software)

    could be a similar case.
    Does that make more sense?

    Perhaps the full name is 'South Coast Software', of course. I wouldn't know without proper adverts or cassette inlays. ;-)

    No, you wrote it out well enough, I was in a hurry and had to re-read it a couple of times for it to click, and it made absolute sense.

    I's a bit fick like that, y'see.

    And I think that also was why I wasn't sure how to understand you at first, because I did read it (and have now re-read) with a capital "S" ... so I just immediately got it stuck in my head that it is South Coast Software. I saw it in the bottom mag-ref in the listing. But one mag-ref might not be enough, nor a proof at all really.
