Title: Clue. Bookseller's System Manual.
Description: Bath. c.1985 Original ring folder with loose-leaf pages. A4 format. 2.6kg. With two original key disks (no guarantee). Folder shows its age but contents complete and in excellent condition. Clue was an advanced flat file database cataloguing system designed for DOS computers which provided typeset quality output on laser printers. Originally supplied to Scotland Yard, hence the name, it was later to become a standard for used book dealers. Idiosyncratic in the extreme and with its own language it was capable of excellent output although it had a very steep learning curve.
