StarInfo/Parker/!Spaceman/!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.

Spaceman V 1.00!
================
By Quintin Parker of Gilbert the Hamster Software!
==================================================
For everybody who's too lazy to do so, this wee module will wait for a second and then press space for you whenever it sees a `Press SPACE or click mouse to continue' message :-) If of course you don't want it to, hold down either Alt. It's that useless!
This proggie might be useful for BBS sysops who don't like it when a program crashes in the middle of the night and leaves the computer off-line until they wake up after a peaceful night's slumber... but somehow I doubt it. :)
Licence
-------
For the first three months after publication, Spaceman is under the Acorn User PD Scheme, and during that time they own the copyright. After three
months, Spaceman becomes QPD.
* Terms of QPD
1. Any copy may be given to anybody at any price whatsoever so long as
you don't change anyfing!
2. It may also be uploaded onto any BBS/ftp site, but please tell me where
so I can upload updates!

If, after two weeks, you decide you don't like the software, send
me �5.
