It's on Archive magazine's shareware disc #21, along with QRT, and an old
version of !Translator. It's probably the same one you had - its not a Risc
OS application. Whether there's a later version I don't know. 

I unpacked it, and had a play, but I got a bit annoyed when I noticed it
doing *Configures here there and everywhere, so I deleted it from my hard
disc.

I still have a archive of it on floppy though. Shall I pass it to Alan
Glover?
