Tonykingsmill: Some more details about what is available on loftcatsoftware website

'''Data PD''' was run between 1990 and 1992 by [[Tony Kingsmill]], and was generally believed to be reliable though not the cheapest of libraries. Data PD featured around 70 disks of software by 1992 with a strong emphasis on text adventures, although all types of software were available. The library featured a monthly paper newsletter that users could obtain by sending a stamped addressed envelope.

This eventually became disc based providing a catalogue and news.

Data PD featured a number of times in [[Amstrad Computer User]] and [[Amstrad Action]]. For a time an autonomous cassette branch of the library was run by [[David Nagle]].

The library was eventually closed due to other commitments.

Some titles originating from Data PD are available for download on Tony's website [http://loftcatsoftware.x10host.com loftcatsoftware.x10host.com], along with scans of past newsletters and other information. Tony has also contributed Amstrad NC software and information to NCUS, and is also working on new Amstrad CPC software.
