L/+OOPS

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

                                OOPS!

I MUST apologise for a rather glaring error in my last letter to EUG -
due to my haste in getting it off! The VDU command in line 400 of my 
suggested improvement to the PRINT program SHOULD have read VDU22,3 to
set to MODE 3; VDU3 simply turns off the printer so no wonder our Editor
couldn't get it working!! I must have deleted either deleted the 22 or
my Master had not responded and I hadn't realised. Also, I had not 
thought to alter the TYPE program which still printed out in 40 column
printing.
   I have now carefully examined both the PRINT and TYPE programs and
have made several small changes to remove some unnecessary variables and
to improve the 40 column printing. I hope all is well now.
   I have also included a patience program I have made up. This is not
perhaps one of my best programs as, to make this up as quickly as I 
could, I have used some routines from my earlier program BELEAGURED 
CASTLE and the display is rather full - I need smaller cards!!
   It's an easy game to play though it's difficult to complete. I have
included brief instructions.

RICHARD'S amended routines do actually work now so this and previous EUG
issues have swiftly had the business done to them. Have a try with his
BLACK HOLE patience game - it's exactly as he describes!

                      SOLIDARITY FOR A BBC OWNER

I'M another new reader just getting into 8 bit computers and own 
precious little for my BBC Micro so far apart from the previous four EUG
issues (#46-#49 - All very good!) and a few Acornsoft educational 
titles.
   I am looking for more stuff and would also be interested in swapping
ideas or writing to any members of the Electron User Group in Telford,
Stafford, Stone, Stoke-on-Trent or within reasonable vicinity of me.
   Something I would like to see is a BBC version of the classic 
SOLITAIRE puzzle but our editor informs me that there has never been a
version published in EUG and I can't get the one from Electron User Vol
5 No 10 to work. If anyone has this game on tape or disk, could they
please send me a copy? I am also looking for any software about Psycho-
metric Tests as I am doing a GCSE Psychology course.

ALTERNATIVELY, you could always submit SOLITAIRE to the Electron User
Group for inclusion on EUG #51!

                               FUNNY BONES 

I AVIDLY watched the BONES DEMO on EUG #49 and noted that it contained
entirely different text than the original one sent to Acorn User around
May 1984. If I'm correct in assuming it was swiped from the LET'S 
COMPUTE #1 disk then you should know that Mike Goldberg, um, sanitised
it for the young audience. The original has "SHIT!" instead of "Eh?!"
and "Suck it!" instead of "Now What?".
   The original authors were MRM Software and both BONES and another
demo [Which you'll find on this disk! - Ed] called NUTTER were the evil
brainchildren of their mainstay programmer Mike WILLIAMS. As it was
only written in BASIC of course it's not hard to see how someone else 
could easily put his name to it.
   I recall another demo was released a few months afterwards too and
the three did the rounds on a disk called 'Sicksoft' for a while. I re-
call that it was called YOSSER and featured a Bernard Hill lookalike 
re-enacting the "Don't you but(t) me!" incident with a policeman out of
Boys From The Blackstuff.
                                                          Jeremy Grayson

VERY interesting. Another demo added to my list of "Things We Need To
Find".
