For re-typing in information, if done on a computer in the early 1980s or prior, then it might have been keypunched in. Personal computers weren't readily available, until about 1984. And it was a 8088 processor with 5 1/2 inch floppies. Not only would the computer storage disk be out of date, but all the software it was probably written in. THINK ABOUT IT... Kinda like asking why we can't get the Black and White TV programs before the color TV was on the market, about the early 1960s!
