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.

DTP aids by Michael Marshall This archive contains a set of Impression borders which meet properly at the corners on rectangular frames. The idea for these borders came from Michael Marshall, a reader from Kilmacolm. The basic 1pt border is drawn on a 1/72in grid. It can be scaled to produce borders of other point sizes as follows: Select all (Ctrl-A), Group (Ctrl-G), Transform -> Magnify by the required amount, then Ungroup (Ctrl-U). This can be done similarly with the 1mm border. � Copyright Michael Marshall 1995
