Documents/ArcFSInfo
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.

ArcFS 0.50/2.00 Documentation
-----------------------------
!ArcFSInfo
----------
Double clicking on the !ArcFSInfo application will cause the ArcFSInfo icon
to appear on the right hand side of the icon bar. The following can be
dragged to this icon:
(1) An archive.
(2) A selection of archives from a directory.
(3) An object from an ArcFS directory.
(4) A selection of objects from an ArcFS directory.
A window will appear containing the following information:
The white box at the top of the window contains the pathname of the object.
Case (1) - This will be the root directory of the archive (i.e.
'arcfs#<name>:$').
Case (2) - It will be 'arcfs#<many>:$', i.e. the root directories of many
archives.
Case (3) - This will be the full ArcFS pathname (i.e. 'arcfs#<name>:$....')
of the object.
Case (4) - The Risc-OS 3 convention of using '.<many>' to represent many
objects in a directory is used.
The next box contains either:
Case (1) - 'Archive'
Case (2) - 'Selection' followed by the number of archives*
Case (3) - Filetype, 'Directory', 'Application' or 'Untyped'
Case (4) - 'Selection' followed by the number of objects*
The next box contains the compression type where a single file has been
dragged to the icon.
The next three boxes give the full size, compressed size and compressed size
as a percentage of the full size respectively.
Where a selection of files have been dragged to the icon, the sizes given
are the total sizes of the selection.
Where archive(s) or directory(s) have been dragged to the icon the sizes are
a total of the contents of the archive(s) or directory(s).
N.B. The sizes only account for file data. Archives will usually be a few
KBytes longer than the total size of the compressed data they contain.
The access rights follow next for cases (1) and (3).
Below the access rights will usually be a datestamp for cases (1) and (3),
unless an untyped file has been dragged to the icon, in which case a box
will show two hexadecimal addresses, the file's load and execution
addresses respectively.
Finally, the pathname of the archive (cases (1),(3) and (4)) is shown.
In case (2) the Risc-OS 3 convention of, for example
'adfs::Spare1.$.Archives.<many>' is used.
* The number of objects shown following 'Selection' in the 'Type' box is the
actual number dragged to the icon. For example, if you drag 2 directories to
the icon, the 'Type' box will read 'Selection (2)', regardless of the number
of objects contained in the directories. 00000000 41 72 63 46 53 20 30 2e 35 30 2f 32 2e 30 30 20 |ArcFS 0.50/2.00 | 00000010 44 6f 63 75 6d 65 6e 74 61 74 69 6f 6e 0a 2d 2d |Documentation.--| 00000020 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d |----------------| 00000030 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 0a 0a 21 41 72 |-----------..!Ar| 00000040 63 46 53 49 6e 66 6f 0a 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d |cFSInfo.--------| 00000050 2d 2d 0a 0a 44 6f 75 62 6c 65 20 63 6c 69 63 6b |--..Double click| 00000060 69 6e 67 20 6f 6e 20 74 68 65 20 21 41 72 63 46 |ing on the !ArcF| 00000070 53 49 6e 66 6f 20 61 70 70 6c 69 63 61 74 69 6f |SInfo applicatio| 00000080 6e 20 77 69 6c 6c 20 63 61 75 73 65 20 74 68 65 |n will cause the| 00000090 20 41 72 63 46 53 49 6e 66 6f 20 69 63 6f 6e 0a | ArcFSInfo icon.| 000000a0 74 6f 20 61 70 70 65 61 72 20 6f 6e 20 74 68 65 |to appear on the| 000000b0 20 72 69 67 68 74 20 68 61 6e 64 20 73 69 64 65 | right hand side| 000000c0 20 6f 66 20 74 68 65 20 69 63 6f 6e 20 62 61 72 | of the icon bar| 000000d0 2e 20 54 68 65 20 66 6f 6c 6c 6f 77 69 6e 67 20 |.
