!Info
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.

Perspec This program provides an excellent introduction to Computer Aided Design. Perspective is a CAD program suitable for KS2 and KS3. Drawings are constructed in either 1st or 3rd angle orthographic projection. Drawing one elevation will automatically create the other two elevations, and a 3D picture is generated in either isometric or oblique projection. The program saves files in either its own format, or it can output a Draw file. The results can be printed using a Risc OS printer driver, or the drawing can be output to a plotter for even more professional results. One clever feature is that the drawing can be viewed in stereoscopic 3D and moved in real time. The program is supplied with glasses which enable you to see 3D, but do nothing for your street credibility! Perspectives by Techsoft 082-43 418
