The solidus

Does anyone remember a book called The Solidus by Davey Towey.?It was published back in 1993 and I believe the author created some software based on the book.There was a plethora of software programs emerging around about that time as the PC was on the rise.Pro-Punter was popular and so was compunter and combayes.
I tried searching online for a copy of the solidus but nothing on Amazon or Ebay.Anyone here remember or have a copy.

I think that might be Simple Software it's SLQ based and been around for a long time...

People e-mail me and ask about my own betting strategy. Above is an example of one strategy but I just do a plain level bet to win at Betfair and only bet a percentage of my `pot` each day. I try and get the best odds as I can. I contunually analyse all the results of 117,399 flat races and 82,270 hunt races since 1994 (at 30/07/2014) and tried to find the best way to use the program.
When I started Simple Software Racing in 1994, it was based on Davey Towey`s book `The Solidus`, under his direction. We input the results data ourselves from the Racing Post and the Sporting Life newspapers.
Davey didn`t like the All Weather and there were no co-efficents for the Irish courses in his book either. Some of the figures in the book were changed by Davey in Biro in the copy I worked from.
When he disappeared to Ireland, I managed to get a daily data supply, continued with the MS-DOS version and wrote the first Windows version of the software.
