Read_This

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.

File contents
This is the playback only version that is supplied with Keystroke
called Executor.

When loaded on the icon bar, Executor will execute special predefined
keystrokes with Risc OS 3  Paint and the Filer.

Simply click on Executor's List� line to load the list of sequences
into Edit, etc. and look at the keypresses available.

Here are a few of the functions supplied. Try the following:


The Filer
---------
Place the Pointer over any Filer window and press CTRL-A to select all
or CTRL-Z to deselect all. CTRL-X will delete any selected files.

These key presses are the standard 'De/Select, Delete' keys for most
Archimedes programs, so why not the Filer!

Place a disc in drive :0 and press Alt-Backspace, Executor will
automatically mount the disc. Pressing Alt-� will dismount the disc.
This allows fast examination of discs.

Pressing CTRL-� or CTRL-� will scroll the Filer window up or down.


Risc OS 3 Paint
---------------
Quite a few functions have also been included in this demo for Risc OS
3 Paint. Here are just a few.

Load any Sprite file into Paint, and with the pointer over the Sprite
file, press F3. F3 is the standard key to save files in Archimedes
programs, but Acorn left it out. We've added it!

With the pointer over a main sprite picture pressing CTRL-H or CTRL-V
will 'flip' it over horizontally or vertically.

CTRL-T will pop up Paint's Toolbox.

CTRL-C will pop up Paint's Colour window.

CTRL-� will zoom in.

CTRL-� will zoom out.

ALT-Z will reset the zoom to a preset figure (in this case 20:20).

ALT-SHIFT-Z will change the zoom to 20:3 (in this case).

F1 will display the Sprite Info box on the sprite in question.

CTRL-X will delete a sprite from a Sprite file pointed at.

There are many more available; read the file 'List' provided.


Autosaving has also been added to Paint!
----------------------------------------
To demonstrate the 'autosave function', load in any sprite file, enter
a time value from Executor's Prefs�Autoexec�Minutes menu. Then click
on 'Autoexec�' such that a tick appears next to it. Now when the time
limit is reached Executor will simply perform a save menu selection
from Paint and then enter a RETURN keypress, therefore saving it.
Watch it happen (or at any time press CTRL-SHIFT-F3).


Action Files
------------
While keypresses can be used to activate Executor, our program is much
more flexible. By using Keystroke, the user can create simple
applications which Keystroke (or Executor) can response to. We call
these 'Action' files.

A selection of example Action files is supplied in the 'Actions'
directory.

The two Action files !FlipHorz and !FlipVert will flip the topmost
sprite displayed either in the X-axis or the Y-axis when double
clicked upon.

The Action file !Create will allow you to make your own sprite file
quickly and easily. Simply open a Paint window, double-click on
!Create and enter some values in the Executor input window which will
appear in the centre of the screen. Instant trouble free sprite
creation!

!AutoSave allows a very quick way of saving the topmost sprite in
Paint. When it is clicked upon, it will do the equivalent of
CTRL-SHIFT-F3 followed by a RETURN key press. IF you do use the
Pinboard, drag this icon to it and whenever you want to save the
sprite, just click. No fuss, no bother!
 
Imagine placing a number of these files on the Pinboard or in a Filer
directory for quick and easy access to your application's functions.
With Keystroke you can create your own toolbox very easily for any
Risc OS compliant program.

=====================================================================

We hope that this text file and the demo will give you a feel of just
what Keystroke is capable of.
 
THIS IS JUST A SAMPLE OF WHAT KEYSTROKE CAN DO FOR YOU!

Keystroke costs �29.95 fully inclusive.
