  Have a look at the archived pages here : al.zerostem.io/~al/teletext/…/1984-09-04-0060.1/

  Teletext pages in the 700 range contained the Telesoftware programs

  I would imagine Visicode was similar fare although, for reasons I discuss in the article, they’re not very easy to find any more.

• In the 1980s we also downloaded software from TVnewslttrs.com ↗

  I had heard of this but your comment sent me searching for more info. I think you might be referring to Visicode.
