StarInfo/Fletcher/Tanner/!Png2Spr/!Boot

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.

| Note on sprites:
| Iconise protocol only understands ic_ + 7 character sprite names. As sprites can have 12 char
| names, a 9 character application (!<name>) could easily have in icon called ic_<name>.
| This is a bug!
|
| I think that acorn ought to support ic_<filenum> as well as file_<filenum>
| and small_<filenum> for filetype sprites.
