!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
!System
=======
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".
If this version of !System is used with a machine
running RISC OS 2 this will probably be because
!System.Modules does not contain the module at all.
In this case it will be necessary to add relocatable
modules from the RISC OS 2 !System to the Modules
directory in this !System - copy the RISC OS 2
!System.Modules directory into the RISC OS 3 !System
directory (the directory containing this file). 00000000 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 | | 00000010 20 20 20 20 20 20 21 53 79 73 74 65 6d 0a 20 20 | !System. | 00000020 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 | | 00000030 20 20 20 20 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 0a 0a 54 68 65 | =======..The| 00000040 20 21 53 79 73 74 65 6d 20 64 69 72 65 63 74 6f | !System directo| 00000050 72 79 20 63 6f 6e 74 61 69 6e 73 20 72 65 6c 6f |ry contains relo| 00000060 63 61 74 61 62 6c 65 20 6d 6f 64 75 6c 65 73 20 |catable modules | 00000070 0a 73 68 61 72 65 64 20 62 79 20 76 61 72 69 6f |.shared by vario| 00000080 75 73 20 41 70 70 6c 69 63 61 74 69 6f 6e 73 20 |us Applications | 00000090 53 75 69 74 65 20 70 72 6f 67 72 61 6d 73 2c 20 |Suite programs, | 000000a0 68 65 6c 64 20 0a 69 6e 20 74 68 65 20 64 69 72 |held .in the dir| 000000b0 65 63 74 6f 72 79 20 21 53 79 73 74 65 6d 2e 4d |ectory !System.M| 000000c0 6f 64 75 6c 65 73 2e 20 59 6f 75 20 77 69 6c 6c |odules.
