!OmniDesk/!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.

OmniDesk Utilities: Form Sizer and SWI Index By Richard Hallas Form Sizer and SWI Index are two applications which can be used either on their own, or as part of the OmniDesk application provided on last month's disc. Help for each application can be obtained by clicking Menu over the relevant icon in the directory window, moving over the App. submenu, and choosing the Help menu entry. Running this option will simply open up a directory display containing the two applications and the Interface module. You should load this module before running either of the utilities, and if you intend to use the utilties a lot, it is easier to copy the module into your system folder. To do this, locate your copy of !System which you use, double-click on it while holding down SHIFT, open the Modules directory, and copy the Interface module into this. In future, when you run the utilities, the Interface module will be automatically loaded from your system directory. To add the applications to OmniDesk, where they can interact, open up the directory !OmniDesk.Utilities, and copy the two applications there. OmniDesk was provided on the October 1993 and November 1993 cover discs. � Copyright Acorn User 1993
