!System/!Help
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 System application
=== ====== ===========
The !System directory contains relocatable modules
shared by various Applications Suite programs, held
in the directory !System.Modules. You will not need
to take any special action to load these modules:
they will be loaded as required by applications,
provided a directory display containing !System has
been opened at some stage.
Error messages
==============
If the error message "Filing system or path
'System:' not present" appears when you are using an
Applications Suite program, you should open a
directory display containing !System and then try
the operation again.
If an error message of the form "You need some
module x.xx or later" appears when you try to run an
application then the directory !System.Modules does
not contain a sufficiently up-to-date version of the
relocatable module "some-module".
