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.

This program generates 'random' text that resembles latin, but which is
actally meaningless. The purpose is to test the layout of a page in
design work; it is a DTP tool which allows text to be placed on pages
without the added inconvenience of actually writing any.

This is an updated version from last time, which works properly on the
Risc PC
