Glossary/!ReadMe

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.

Disclaimer: I wrote these definitions off the top of my head and cannot
            guarantee that they are the best definitions (or, indeed, 100%
            correct) however they should be sufficient.

Other and better definitions would be appreciated, in addition any other
*common* abbreviations that are missing would be welcome.
