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.

File contents
This application was originally downloaded from a PD source, so I assume
it's P.D...
As well as the original app, also included are Mike Perigo's Speculator
Utilities. These are in the !Spectrum.PCsnaps.SpecUtils directory, and
allow conversion from various types of PC & Amiga Spectrum game file formats
to the decidedly esoteric Speculator 64k format. Conversion usually has a
highish degree of success - unsuccessful conversion produces strange
effects. These utilities will probably be updated in the future (real soon
now) though as for the emulator, who knows ?...
regards,
Frank...
