!AWJan95/Goodies/Event/Examples/!Text-DTP/ScrapFile
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.

File contents
The sprite file must be called 'Sprites' and be either in the application directory or in the appropriate language directory if ResFind is in use. A call to PROCshell_ResourcesInit will find the file if it exists and load all the sprites it contains allocating memory as required. Optionally a second sprite file called 'Sprites22' containing high resolution sprites for users with multisync monitors may be present. If the application is started in a high resolution screen mode and 'Sprites22' is available it will be loaded instead of 'Sprites'. The sprite area pointer for each loaded template will be set to point to the user sprite area, which put simply this means that all sprites displayed in windows must be present in the 'Sprites' and 'Sprites22' files. This may, however, be changed after loading with a call to FNshell_WindowSetSpriteArea.
