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.

PERFORATION SKIP
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The perforation skip routine is set for printing 60 lines
and skipping 12. These values are inserted into 'lines'
and 'skiplines' in line 30 of themenu and may be altered
if necessary.
On pressing 'P' for output to printer, you will need to
press 'Y' or 'N'on cue before the text is printed.
40 COLUMN PRINTING
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The difficulty of converting an 80 column for 40 columns is
that the CR(newline) characters occur at the wrong
position when using the routinefor word-wrapping. I have
made a routine which prints a space instead ofthese but
prints those necessary for correct printing of the titles
andsubheadings and separates the paragraphs.
The correct printing depends on -
1. The '~' should be used for the underlining of
titles and subheadings. These may be centralised by
using spaces or control 9 but not by using TAB as
this will appear as a one space only. They will be
left justified in 40 column to avoid being split.
2. A blank line should separate paragraphs.
3. Indenting any other lines where a new line is
required again using spaces only.
I think most members do type files in this way. Files with
program oritem lists may still cause problems. I have
made up a short program whichwith the the new code can be
used to try out your files before submission.This is
'V-TYPE' and when run you need to press 3 or 6 to select
the MODEand then load your file. If the left
justification causes problems - forexample where items
must line up - this can be prevented by adding a '.'or
other character at the beginning of the line.
Files should preferably be formatted to the full width of a
View file inMODE 3. The files will appear as though
unformatted since the new codingignores the formatting
characters (16 and 26).
