FreeSoft/!TrashFS/!Help
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.

Trash This is a desktop trashcan after the fashion of the Mac version, it is written as a module and has a * command interface from the CLI - type *Help TrashFS from the f12 * prompt. Just drag files to the icon on the iconbar to trash them. You can access the trashcan by clicking Select over the icon, and adjust closes it. The position of the trashcan can be altered by changing the variable TrashFS$TrashDir in the !Run file. Shift-drag files out of the trashcan to take them out it is just a normal filer window. If an action that you are about to do will result in file(s) being deleted then you will be informed by the border changing colour to red. The state of the options is stored in CMOS RAM - if you are wondering, smooth makes the trashcan animation from thin to fat and vice versa "smoother". Immediate deletes files dragged to the icon instead of storing them in the trashcan. If Warning is off, no red border is displayed. A Temporary quit removes the icon until the next reset - Permanent removes it from memory completely. This version has a bug fix unlike the previously distributed version. Don't use versions with no help file - the trash directory isn't initialised properly. The source is provided - you can delete it to make more room on disc if you want.
