The MIA software of T Jevon is most likely copyright-infringing mods...

Post by PeteProdge »

Just stumbled across this rather striking announcement in a 1983 edition of Your Computer:
https://archive.org/details/your-comput ... ew=theater

NOTICE

I, Mr T. Jevon admit that I have infringed the copyrights in Ultraviolet, Infrared and Nightflite and that I have now stopped trading in all software.


Here's the ZXDB softography of Mr T Jevon, all MIA: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/list?label_id=14163

Well, I reckon his Flight Simulator would have been a reskinned Nightflite. And Monitor And Disassembler could well be Infrared. Assembler I believe to be Ultraviolet. That's one Hewson game and two ACS Software utilities. No idea about the rest of his output, but I think he's another Harry S Price, albeit we don't have any tangible evidence of 'his' output.

I'm guessing he was forced to post anywhere he had previously advertised the titles as there's also a similar advert in Popular Computing Weekly...
