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 Dimond 5 Briary Court, Sidcup, KENT DA14 6HZ 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! (The) Dave ________________________________________________________________________ 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. Derek F. Evans 14 Stone Road, Eccleshall, NR Stafford, STAFFS ST61 6DS ALTERNATIVELY, you could always submit SOLITAIRE to the Electron User Group for inclusion on EUG #51! (The) Dave ________________________________________________________________________ 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". (The) Dave
