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.

SHARE PROGRAM UPDATES (3/11/88)
...oooOOOooo...
Users of the previous transmissions of the Share software should read
these notes. Some corrections and minor improvements have been added
on suggestion from users.
...oooOOOooo...
BASIC 1 users will have had problems due to the use of the BASIC 2
command OPENIN which is not included in BASIC 1's command table.
BASIC 2's OPENUP is equivalent to BASIC 1's OPENIN so all OPENIN's
have been changed to OPENUP which ensures the programs may be used
with either version of BASIC.
Master users may have had some problems with the initial EXEC file
"!BOOT". EXEC'ed files are not automatically closed on a BBC B or a
Master. The BBC B machine does not mind this but the Master does. So
the command *FX119 is issued at the start of program "MAIN". This
closes any open EXEC or SPOOL files and the program should continue as
normal.
If there is no !BOOT file on the disc you are asked whether you would
like one created. If the reply is "Y" or "y" the !BOOT file is created
and the disc is configured for auto-BOOTing (*OPT4,3). If the answer
is "N" or "n" then the previous version of the Share software ENDed.
This version continues whether a !BOOT is created or not. There is a
disadvantage in that every time the MAIN program is entered it detects
that there is no !BOOT file and asks whether you want one created
again. It is therefore recommended that a !BOOT file IS created
whether it be your own version or the one offered.
When the new CEEFAX system was instigated in July 1988, program AUTO
could not detect the 'Close of business'. A fault of the program, not
CEEFAX. A new version was broadcast which took care of this.
A user pointed out that when a shareprice could not be found, ie.
missing, the automatic maximum and/or minimum values were applied to
the wrong share. This resulted in the plotting program scaling the
axes with incorrect maximum and/or minimum values. This new version of
AUTO has this error corrected.
