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.

If you use your computer for a variety of tasks and
need quick access to a number of different programs
when you turn on your machine, yet your computer has
too little memory to have everything running at the
same time, or perhaps you don't want a huge boot
sequence that takes longer to load than Windows95
takes to install, then Soxon could be just what
you're looking for. Hmmm...

You only need a minimal boot sequence - loading your
backdrop sprite, icon and toolsprites. The last line
of it needs to load !Soxon. Soxon then provides you
with a configurable list of additional boot files
which can be loaded depending on what you want to do
eg. one could load up Impression and some fonts if
you want to do some word processing; or if you want
to start programming a different boot file could
load up Zap and a template editor. The possibilities
are almost endless.

To choose a boot sequence to run, just doubleclick
on it in the Soxon main window, and hey presto! - it
runs! The Soxon program automatically quits itself
after you've made your choice. Choosing 'Don't boot'
quits Soxon without booting up anything else.

����������������������������������������������������
Setting up your own boot files:

This is quite simple really. Inside the !Soxon
application (shift-doubleclick on it) is a directory
called 'Files'. Some example boot sequences are
in here, but you can delete or modify them if you
so wish. It is most likely they won't run properly
on your computer straight away, unless you've got
your hard disc organised in exactly the same way as
I have.

You can create a new boot sequence in Edit. The
first line contains the title of the file; ie. the
name that will appear in the Soxon window. A prefix
of a single | character is included to stop this
line being run and almost certainly creating an
error. eg:

|Word processing

or

|An example title

or

|486 PC emulator

The rest of the file is just a normal boot sequence
as described in the User Guide; eg. you can run
files and applicatons using 'Filer_Run <filename>'

����������������������������������������������������
Why the daft name? Well you put your socks on before
your boots, don't you!

If this program gets published and I haven't said
'Hello' to a few people I know then my life won't be
worth living, so here goes:

Hi there! to James, Jake, Paul (Mr 'X'), Mathieu,
Mark, Kev, Rob the Mule, Joe, everyone in my
Information Systems class, Gareth, Andi Parki (one
of only TWO people I know who owns an Arc! And I
know a lot of people), Lesley (she's the other one),
everyone who spends their time in the Careers room,
Angela, Cathy, Karen, Ma, Pa, my sister Lynne and
Soo our cat. That should do for the moment I think.

����������������������������������������������������
This is the first release of Soxon, for Acorn User's
Star Info section.
