\\nThomas Cherryhomes recently deciphered the Educational System Master Cartridge and decoded the \\u201ctalk and teach\\u201d system used by Dorsett Educational Systems. He has created a C library called eduendcode which allows people to create new lessons using that format. Thomas and I are currently working to digitize and archive 46 sets of Dorsett courses.
