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.

                         11 Easy Steps to Using Menaker!

Step 1 - Preparing your programs
--------------------------------
Before creating the menu it is best to decide which programs will be
contained in it. Then, create a directory of any name and copy the programs
into it. You can copy the programs into the directory as you add them
to the menu, but it'll make things easier if you do it before. 

Step 2 - Loading the Program
----------------------------
To load, double-click on the !Menaker icon in a filer window. The program
will load and install an icon on the iconbar.

Step 3 - Creating a new menu
----------------------------
A new menu is started by clicking on the iconbar icon. Two windows will
appear. The smaller one is a list of all the menus in the current menu file.
A star appears next to the currently selected menu. The contents of this
menu are shown in the second window.

Step 4 - Adding options
-----------------------
Files, applications and directories can be added to your menu by simply
dragging their icons from a filer disc display onto the menu window. The
name of the file will appear next to it's icon.

Step 5 - Adding submenus
------------------------
There are two ways to make submenus. Firstly, you can create one from
scratch. To do this, click Menu (the middle mouse button) over the menu
display and select 'Submenu item'. Three boxes allow you to enter :

 * The name of the sprite displayed next to the option to open the menu.
 * The text to appear next to the sprite.
 * The title of the submenu to open.

If you click on 'Okay' an option to open the submenu will appear on the
current menu. If the title you entered is new (ie. a menu of that name
doesn't already exist), the menu will be created and will appear in the list
of menus.

Another way to create a submenu is to turn another option (eg. a file) into
a submenu. To do this, click Menu over the option and select 'Menu 'name' ->
Make submenu. A window like the one for the 'Submenu item' option will
appear. This will allow you to select a different sprite for the icon or
change the text. You can probably ignore this and click on 'Okay'. A menu
will be created bearing the file's name and depending on the type, some
options will be created on the menu. These are :

* For files and applications, 3 items are created :
    1. an option to run the file.
    2. an option to open the directory the file is in.
    3. an option to return to the main menu.
* For directories, 2 items are created :
    1. an option to open the directory.
    2. an option to return to the main menu.

Step 6 - Adding options to submenus
-----------------------------------
You can 'travel' around your menufile by double-clicking on submenu icons.
Alternatively, you can click on a menu in the list of menus and it will be
displayed.

Adding options to the new menus is then done as with the main menu, by
dragging, or by creating further submenus.

Step 7 - Adding an option to return to the main menu
----------------------------------------------------
Once you've created submenus, you'll want to be able to get back to the main
menu. To do this, click Menu over the menu window and select Main Menu item.

Step 8 - Moving options around
------------------------------
You can move options around by dragging one icon on top of another. The
first icon will then be inserted at the second icon.

Step 9 - Testing the menu
-------------------------
If you want to check that any options work, you can double-click on them.
This will have the same effect as double-clicking them in a directory
display (ie. applications are run, directories opened etc.).

If you find this a pain (for example, accidently double clicking on files),
simply press Menu over the iconbar icon and click on Options->Run files from
Menaker.

Step 10 - Saving the menu
-------------------------
To save, press Menu over the iconbar icon. Then move the pointer over the
arrow next to 'Save'. A standard save window will appear. From here you can
drag the icon to a directory to save the menu.

The menu can be run by double-clicking it's icon, or it can be edited by
dragging it's icon onto the iconbar icon.

Step 11 - Including files in the menu
-------------------------------------
First, click Menu over the iconbar icon and select Copy Files. A window will
appear in the centre of the desktop. Next, drag the directory you placed all
the files in onto the new window. Menaker will then copy this directory
inside the current menu file's directory (assumming you have saved your
menu, as in step 10).

If you did not place all your files in one directory, then they can be
dragged onto the window individually, or in a group.
