Subject: Comal 80 in Great Britain
Hey there, my name is Mikkel, I am working on a book about a series of
danish micro computers where the history of the programming language
"Comal" will be a part of, and i just discovered that there was a UK
Comal User groups and also a periodical called "Comal Bulletin", ive
searched the internet i cannot find anything. But i hope that you might
know some historians or hobbyist? or even online databases? you can
refer me to?
I would like to know all there is to know about Comal in UK? And as a
sidenote, if somebody knows something about danish computers in uk from
the 70s and 80s i would of course like to hear about that to.
Hope you can help me, more info about my book is here :

I'm not in the UK but I think I have a COMAL paged rom image for the BBC Micro
somewhere. I don't think I ever tried using it, I have no documentation
for it and I don't know anything about it but if there is any interest, I will
try to find it.
Regards,
Peter Coghlan.

I think the details means that the British Library has Volume 1
I'm surprised that WorldCat didn't return it as being in the British Library
