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
Regular items various authors The programs in this archive accompany the regular sections in the magazine. The C directory contains a program illustrating structures in C. The program itself in in the root directory, with the source code in the c directory. Whwn run, the program prompts for the entry of five names and associated numbers, and sorts and stores them in various ways. The program itself isn't very useful, but the source code is an excellent example of how to use complicated C structures. The Education directory contains three directories. Clicker+ contains a dummy application !Startup, which can be used as the basis for a Clicker+ application (note: this is only useful if you have Clicker+). Read the !StartUp.!Help file for further instructions. The Jargon section contains two solutions to the problem of obtuse error messages from RISC OS. Instructions are provided - some knowledge of boot files is assumed. The ParentsIT directory has template registration forms for the ITP Computer Training courses for parents. The RunTheRisc directory has programs by Mike Cook to go with his hardware series in the magazine. The StarInfo directory contains programs to accompany the *INFO article in the magazine, including Ctrl-A patchs for the latest versions of Style (3.07) and Publisher (4.05).
