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.

Things still to do ================== I'm thinking of making the talker run (as an option) on the telnet port (23). Then options could be negotiated, as to the talkers capability. The guest account flags could be whatever the terminal was capable of (I'm mostly thinking of echo + vt100 here.) Its been suggested to me that I use Jon Ribbens logger, instead of doing my own logging. Having all logging done in one place seems to be a nice idea. After the templates are finalised I will make the 2D versions, instead of just copying the 3D ones. I dont suppose anyone has a 3D icon converting app? :) The talker control window at the moment doesnt do a lot. I'll probably add quite a bit of functionality to it. I'll probably think of loads of different commands to add in the meantime :) Invisibility and its implication are still being refined. Please contact me if you can think of a different way of doing things. The documentation could do with a bit of polishing. Anyone fancy it? I'm also thinking of having a seperate !App to store all the config files in, which could also maybe create and alter accounts.
