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.

Also it calculates the number of free sectors and files for that disc and stores that separately. If each disc has a volume number, it can then quickly be found if they are stored in numerical order. The information is held in a file 'D.MastCat'. And one file can hold upto 127 sets of catalogue information. The master file must be in drive 0, but the source catalogue can be from drives 0-3. �cont. The Program opens and closes the file each time it wishes to use it. So that it is then posible to use drive 0 for the source as well as the master drive, and then if any mistake occurs the possible effects are reduced. Each time the program wants to access the master file it will display. �Insert Master Disc into Drive �� 0 And each time it wants to access a source disc it will display. �Insert Source Disc into Drive � �0 �� �0�� 3�� 4�� O5�� V7�� �:�� <�� �=�� v>�I�p�/�q lK �I�r�Э`����Information Menu � ����Information Menu � ���Select Information on��- �1�Title Search �2�Free Sectors and Files �3�Volume Catalogue �4�Filename Search �5�New/Updating volume entries �6�Creating a new file 'D.MastCat' �7�Sequential entry �8�Catalogue a disc �9�Exchanging D.MastCat file �0��Exit � ���Which � ���p�0�q lKL"J�Title Search Option 1 Menu 1 When the prompt comes up 'Enter the Title?'. You can enter the title using either - 1/ 12 Characters 2/ spacing wild characters (#) 3/ end/start wild character (*) If Upper case letters are used then both upper and lower case letters can be searched for,but if lower case letters are used then only lower case letters will be found. For Example 'Master Cat00' could be found with 'M##### C##00' 'M*Cat* or '*CAT*' but '*cat*' will not find 'Master Cat00' �Title a disc Option 1 Menu 2 It is posible to change the Disc Title via the program. The program limits the title to 12 characters. ��p�3�q lKL"J�Free Sector Display Option 2 Menu 1&2 The number of free sectors and the number of files on each disc can be displayed by the Menu 1 Option 2. Also the same information can be displayed for only discs with free sectors by Menu 2 Option 2. ��p�4�q lKL"J�Volume Catalogue Options 3 Menu 1 or 2 The filename and catalogue information can be displayed by these options. The information is - 1/ Filename 2/ Locked (or Not) 3/ Load Address 4/ Execution Address 5/ Length The Menu 2 Option does so sequentially. (For more information see Info 7 on Sequential Options.) �]�p�5�q lKL"J�Filename Search Option 4 Menu 1 A filename can be searched for using 1/ characters 2/ a spacing wild characters (#) 3/ start/end wild character (*) For Example '#.MastC##' 'D.Mas*' 'D.*Ca*' '*Mas*' As there is no default directory used by the program, either the directory must be given or the character * used at the start of the name. In the same way as for Title Search an upper case letter will find both uppper and lower case letters, whereas lower case letters will only find lower case letters. �d�p�7�q lKL"J�New Volume Entry Option 6 Menu 1&2 To make an entry under a volume number this is the option which does it. You will be prompted with which drive you wish to use as the source drive. You will then be prompted to put the source disc into that drive. The catalogue information is then loaded. Lastly you are prompted to put the Master Disc into Drive 0. The catalogue information for the source disc is then stored in the file D.MastCat. �Up-dating of Volume Entries Option 5 �Menu 1 & 2 This is similar to New Volume Entry but after loading the source information it loads the present information from the Master Disc and then compares the titles before Up-Dating. If they are not exactly the same it will display the two titles and give you the option of over-writing or not. With both options Menu 2 is sequential. (See Info 7) ���p�:�q lKL"J�Generating a blank file D.MastCat �Option 9 Menu 2 In order to create a blank file of the correct format and length, you need to use this option. As the file D.MastCat needs to be 256 sectors long it is only posible to have one copy of such a file on a 40 track disc, but an 80 track disc you can have 3 differant files on one disc. (See also Exchange file) �*�p�<�q lKL"J�Sequential Versions (Menu 2) �Options 3,5 & 6 The Menu 2 versions of Volume Catalogue New and Up-date Volume Entry are sequential from any volume number. You are asked from which Volume you wish to start. Then all that is require at the end of each action is to reply Y to Again(Y/N). The next volume number will be selected automaticaly. ���p�=�q lKL"J�Disc Catalogue Option 8 Menu 1&2 The disc in any drive can be catalogued and displayed on the screen. When it has displayed the catalogue you are then given the chance to change the disc in the drive and to do another catalogue. ���p�>�q lKL"J�Swap the Master file with another �Option 4 Menu 2 This option is posible with a 40 track drive, but as only one file can be of the correct length an 80 track drive is needed for its full utilisation. The option renames the file you name as 'D.TEMP', then it renames 'D.MastCat' as your given name, and then finaly it renames 'D.TEMP' as 'D.MastCat'. At each stage it first checks to see if the files exist. As a result of this it will not do this option if there is already a file 'D.TEMP'. You must exit from the program and rename 'D.TEMP'. �߅p�@�q lK TJ OQ��s �Q fM� �Q �P @N� oM .M�s� �I��`����Search for a Title � ����Search for a Title � �D�p�A�q lK OQ �Q��s O� oM }K�s� %LL"J��List Free Sectors per Volume ��List Free Sectors per Volume ��and the Number of Files ��and the Number of Files ���p�A�q lK OQ �Q��s O��x��y)� oM }K�s� %LL"J��List of Discs with space ��List of Discs with space �s ��2W�xȹ2W)�y�2W)�JJJ�w���p�K�q lK kO�, �w �K�Åp�K�qLlK�Free � �Files ���p�B�q lK �J� �Q��R�� �KL�BL%L ��Catalogue a Volume ��Catalogue a Volume �!�p�C�q lK �J OQ �Q��s� �� fM� �Q �P �P �M� TM �L��i���w���s� "JL%L����Search for a filename � ����Search for a filename � �}�p�C�q lK �J� �I �CLnC`��Up-Date a Volume Entry ��Up-Date a Volume Entry �R �Q �P �P �N� M .O R`��p�C�q lK �J �I �C �I��s�`��Sequential Volume Entry Up Date ��Sequential Volume Entry Up Date �From- �\�p�D�q lK �I �J� rPLPD` ��Enter a New Volume ��Enter a New Volume ���p�D�q lK �J� �I oM �I� rP�s�`��Enter New Volumes in Sequence ��Enter New Volumes in Sequence �From Volume? �&�p�E�q lK �Ii0�$E �P �I�`CAT 0 ��Catalogue Disc ��Catalogue Disc �}�p�E�q lK �P dI� TJ�"��Jȩ ��J���J �� �I��` ��Title a Disc ��Title a Disc �Ņp�E�q lK �J oM �Q �K�s0 �I��L%L��Sequential Vol.Cat. ��Sequential Vol.Cat. �From- ���p�F�q lK dI��@��G �Q �Q(��Åp�G�q lKL�F`�n�p�G�q lK �J� �� ��J�����J�.��ȹ�J� �ՠ ��J��G� H�%H� ��@��G �Q �Q(����p�G�q lKL�F���p�G�q lK���G ���@ �Q �Q(����p�G�q lKL�F��p�H�q lK��H ���@��G �Q �Q(����p�G�q lKL�F�1�p�H�q lK�1�H ��L"J�Exchange�D.MastCat�with a 2nd File �Exchange�D.MastCat�with a 2nd File Use only with an 80 track drive Exchange�D.MastCat�with - No file found No file D.MastCat found Now No D.MastCat D.TEMP file exists!
