Charts/Election/ReadMe

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.

%C%Elections chart

This chart displays the proportions of votes and the proportions of 
seats won in the general elections of 1987 and 1992.  At the time of 
writing (Wednesday evening, 12 hours before the polls open) the 1992 
results aren't known.  Put the chart into an editing window by 
selecting Edit Chart from the Charts menu.  Then type the real numbers 
in the relevant slots.

Try changing chart types by selecting charts from the galleries.  The 
chart originally displayed is the last chart type in the bar gallery.
