Miscellany/!RiscTimer/Resources/HFText
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.

HeadFirst Public Domain is a public domain library supplying software for Acorn and IBM PC compatible computers. HeadFirst was formed in Spring 1992 by two Acorn enthusiasts, Gareth Boden and James Treadwell. Shortly afterwards, David McGarry joined the two and started to sell PC software. HeadFirst is at present run from Southport, with David McGarry running the PC stuff from Essex University! The HeadFirst logo was designed on the ST by David McGarry, and converted to Archimedes Sprite and Draw formats by Gareth Boden. We are looking for more software to add to the library so if you have some suitable PD, please send it to us!
