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.

ARC TOOL
~~~~~~~~
An arc is part of the outside of a circle: part of the curved
edge.
First decide where the centre of the circle would be and
click (press and release) the left mouse button. Then move
the mouse to where you want the arc to start. Click again.
Now, if you move the mouse to the left you will see a small arc
appear. If you move it the other way, a large arc will appear.
When the arc is just as you want it, click once again.
(You click three times altogether.) If you click the right
mouse button instead, the arc will disappear and you can start
again.
You can use the DELETE key to get rid of any arcs you've drawn
and restore the picture. (This must be done BEFORE you return
to the Menu screen.)
Press the middle mouse button to return to the
Menu screen. 00000000 0a 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 |. | 00000010 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 41 52 | AR| 00000020 43 20 54 4f 4f 4c 20 20 20 0a 20 20 20 20 20 20 |C TOOL . | 00000030 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 | | 00000040 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 0a | ~~~~~~~~.| 00000050 0a 41 6e 20 61 72 63 20 69 73 20 70 61 72 74 20 |.An arc is part | 00000060 6f 66 20 74 68 65 20 6f 75 74 73 69 64 65 20 6f |of the outside o| 00000070 66 20 61 20 63 69 72 63 6c 65 3a 20 70 61 72 74 |f a circle: part| 00000080 20 6f 66 20 74 68 65 20 63 75 72 76 65 64 20 0a | of the curved .| 00000090 65 64 67 65 2e 0a 0a 46 69 72 73 74 20 64 65 63 |edge...First dec| 000000a0 69 64 65 20 77 68 65 72 65 20 74 68 65 20 63 65 |ide where the ce| 000000b0 6e 74 72 65 20 6f 66 20 74 68 65 20 63 69 72 63 |ntre of the circ| 000000c0 6c 65 20 77 6f 75 6c 64 20 62 65 20 61 6e 64 0a |le would be and.| 000000d0 63 6c 69 63 6b 20 20 28 70 72 65 73 73 20 61 6e |click (press an| 000000e0 64 20 72 65 6c 65 61 73 65 29 20 74 68 65 20 6c |d release) the l| 000000f0 65 66 74 20 6d 6f 75 73 65 20 62 75 74 74 6f 6e |eft mouse button| 00000100 2e 20 54 68 65 6e 20 6d 6f 76 65 0a 74 68 65 20 |.
