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.

TITLE          GIS ATS+ 2.00 Release Note
AUTHOR         David Somers, Teletext Coordinator, GIS.
DATE           13th January 1989

INTRODUCTION
GIS Ltd have updated the ATS+ ROM for use with their Advanced Teletext
Receiver.  Changes from the first release (version 1.00) to this (version
2.00) are as follows:

SUBTITLES
This facility (which was invoked by entering the desired page number (888)
then pressing SHIFT-F5) has been removed.

PRINT SCREEN
A screen print routine has been added.  Now, when SHIFT-F9 is pressed a
text only dump of the screen is produced; double-height lines are shown in
single-height.  This is similiar in operation to the BBC's TTXPRINT
program.

The facility to intercept SHIFT-F9 from software is still provided to
allow for alternative screen printing routines to be invoked, such as a
screen dump routine for the Integrex Colourjet 132 printer (to be
transmitted on Telesoftware shortly).

TELESOFTWARE
The Telesoftware decoder has had a number of internal enhancements to
improve performance.

ACCESS TO IBM TELESOFTWARE
Due to requests from Master 512 owners, version 2.00 allows access to
Telesoftware files broadcast for use with PC-DOS (aka MS-DOS).  To access
this facility, SHIFT-F5 is pressed from within Terminal mode (on versions
prior to 2.00, this combination was allocated to the Subtitles facility).
Additionally, a new Teletext Operating System Command, *IBMTSW has been
provided, and is the equivalent to *DOWNLOAD, but for accessing PC-DOS
(aka MS-DOS) Telesoftware files.

When a file is selected, it is not necessarily saved with the filename
given, due to the incompatabilities of the naming structure between DOS
and that of DFS, ADFS, etc.  When using DFS, the filename is truncated to
seven (7) characters, and to ten (10) characters for all other filing
systems.  Additionally, the occurance of full stops ('.') in the name are
converted to an underlines ('_').  For example, "FILE.EXT" is saved as
"FILE_EXT".  In such circumstances, when the filename is modified, it is
displayed in the comment window for reference.

It is recommended that such DOS files are downloaded to ADFS or ANFS, as
this results in only the last two characters of the extension being 'lost'
for long filenames.

It is up to the user to ensure that when two different PC-DOS filenames
are truncated to the same name, the first file is not owerwritten by the
second.  In such cases, the first file downloaded should be re-named on
the disc BEFORE attempting to download the second file.

BUG FIXES
A rather obscure bug has now been erradicated.  Version 1.00 occasionally
crashed with interactive programs, which used *TELESOFT mode.  This has
been fixed.

The number of Page Grabbers has been increased to twenty (20).

SHIFT-COPY, to release all kept pages, now works.

MISCELLANEOUS
A few users have complained that their systems work extremely slowly, with
pages taking several seconds to be displayed on screen once received.
This is nearly always due to another ROM in the computer taking too long
to process its service calls.

Before contacting GIS for assistance, try disabling or removing any other
ROMs in the microcomputer to try and locate the source of the problem.
Placing ATS+ in a higher priority ROM socket may also help.

ROMS
The accompanying ROM image should be used as a replacement for the ROM
supplied with the adaptor.  If you have the facilities to program your own
EPROMS, you can 'blow' the image into an EPROM then replace your current
ROM with the new one. Alternatively, you can keep the image on disc and
load it into Sideways RAM whenever required. Either way, you should ensure
the original ROM (version 1.00) is removed from your machine. (*UNPLUG on
a Master will suffice.)

To initialise the ROM after loading into Sideways RAM requires a "Power-up
re-boot" of your system. This can be achieved by either turning your
computer on then off (provided your SWR has battery backup) or by typing:

   *FX151,78,127 <RETURN>
   <CTRL> + <BREAK>

If you cannot program your own EPROM, and do not have Sideways RAM
facilities, a replacement ROM can be obtained. Please write to or
telephone GIS Ltd. for details.
