!MoveWindo/!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.

MoveWindow
----------
By Andrew Brooks, from an idea by Iain Fothergill (aka Wowbagger).
Usage
-----
To move a window without using the title bar:
Press and hold <CTRL> and <SHIFT>. The window can then be dragged as normal
by holding a mouse button down anywhere in the window.
NOTE: Mouse clicks are just detected, not intercepted, and so the mouse
should not point to any sensitive area in the window, eg. over a 'format
hard disc' icon!
