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.

Dear Gus,
                     Defective disc EUG15

         Thank you for the replacement disc EUG15 and for the 
replacementfor EUG16 which clearly went "walkabout" under the 
auspices of the RoyalMail. As I have previously explained to 
you I had difficulty in loadingEUG15 and believed the cause 
to be the imprecise positioning of the masksuch that it 
totally obscured the notch to its right in the top edge ofthe 
plastic container. It would seem that in the case of this disc 
andothers I have received from you the travel to the masked 
position isintended to be limited by the edge of the raised 
surface of the plastic. Ihave examined a number of "branded" 
discs e.g. TDK,3M and Sony  amongstothers and find the travel 
is limited by the "blind" end of the slot inwhich the lug of 
the mask slides. In the "unbranded" discs I find thisslot is 
open  ended. If the edge of the raised surface of the plastic 
iswell defined and the mask is well formed then the problem 
is unlikely toarise. However I do feel it is a wise 
precaution to check the travel ofthe mask on a disc not 
previously used by the recipient. I am notconversant with the 
internals of the PLUS3 and I am therefore unable tojudge the 
consequences of a determined attempt to insert a disk in which
the mask is too far to the right. I have no intention of 
opening up myPLUS3 to pursue the investigation any further!!

           MULTI-COPIES  - Michael Harris's problem.

I have been in touch with Michael and I understand he is now 
satisfied theprogram published in EUG6   does work!! I 
believe the problem arose fromthe assumption in the 
instructions that users would be familiar with howto switch 
between VIEW and BASIC and vice-versa by the commands *BASIC 
and*WORD. I have revised the procedure as follows and trust 
that all userswill find the program as simple to use and as 
useful as I do; I often havea requirement for around 125 
copies of each of a number of full pages oftext and I find 
that I can escape to do other things whilst the printer
dutifully churns out the requisite number. There is one small 
pointconcerning the number to be inserted in LINE220 - if you 
feel very "green"and do not wish to waste a single sheet of 
paper then please note that thefirst page is 0(nought) so 
that if you need 30 copies the figure to go inLINE220 
is29(twenty-nine)

     Proceedure for using MULTI-COPIES program "numcopies":-

With VIEW ROM inserted switch on computer. Switch on Printer.  
Insert disccontaining "numcopies".Key CTRL-A-BREAK 
simultaneously to mount and bootdisc. Key *BASIC. Key LOAD 
"numcopies". Key LIST220. Amend Line 220 toshow the number of 
copies required. Key RETURN. Key RUN. The programshould now 
run and generate the *COPIES program.Key *DISMOUNT and remove
disc. Insert disc containing text to be printed. Key 
*MOUNT.Key *WORD. KeyLOAD"(name of text file)".Key *FX6,0 (to 
ensure a line feed is obtained if not already ordained by dip 
switch). Key ESCAPE and check that the textthat you wish to 
print is correct and ready. Key ESCAPE to return toCommand 
mode. Key  *COPIES. Key RETURN.The printer should now run to
produce the number of copies required.If you are using a 
PRINTER DRIVER (see EUG6) and have put highlights inyour text 
then load the DRIVER before keying *COPIES.

For convenience I always transfer a copy of "numcopies" to 
each disc I usefor VIEW text and RUN it to generate *COPIES - 
this saves time and reducesthe chance of error in disc 
exchange; and should you wish to print thesame number of 
copies as immediately preceding batch of some otherunrelated 
text on the same disc it is merely necessary to key *COPIES. 
Ifyou have more than one page of related text and use the PE 
Command the*COPIES program will assume the related pages to 
be one copy.

If you are producing small slips for distribution around the 
Parish ,forexample to announce the next jumble sale, then 
indicate the Page Length tosuit (usually a factor of 66) and 
the *COPIES program will count thenumber of Page Lengths - 
you then have to find a helper to cut up the sheets of 
paper!! However for this type of printing I would think that a
BASIC program as opposed to use of VIEW would be more suitable 
and ofcourse is the only method available to those not having 
a word-processingROM. It involves the use of the BASIC 
keywords FOR and NEXT. May I riskthe scorn of the more 
sophisticated ELECTRONEERS by offering the followingprogram 
as a useful   example of a small slip (with apologies to Gus!)

10 VDU2
20 *FX6,0

80 NEXT N

100 END
Line 10  tells the printer to sit up and take notice.                 
Line 20 ensures a linefeed.                                               
Line 30 identifies the number of times the program should run.
Lines  40, 50 and 60 specify the style of the characters to be 
printed. These lines may need to be changed to suit your 
printer or  omitted.
Lines 70 and 75 spell out the text to be printed and its 
layout. If you put this program to use line 75 could be an 
extension of line 70 but as  I am presenting this BASIC 
program  within a VIEW text file the extended line70 would 
appear as a nonsense. Beware of the apostrophes - they are 
important in obtaining the "footer margin" to match text to a 
nine line spacing as used for fanfold labels. If drafting a 
straight text then a series of "'" following end of text are 
necessary to provide cutting space  between copies. REMEMBER  
that when using BASIC a LINE must not be longer than 240 
characters but there isn't a restriction on the number of 
LINEs  so you can, by carefully composing your text, produce a 
lengthy  document and even vary the style of  printed  lines 
by the use of LINEs such as 40,50 and 60 above. In order to 
present a good printed text it is important to break up the 
text in the program into 80 character segments i.e. 
a printed line.So if you do not have a word-processing system 
try the foregoing - its a minor challenge - and someone in the 
community might appreciate your help in their public 
relations. See "useless" example later.

Line 80 calls for the re-run of the program to print the next 
copy up to 5
Line 90 tells the printer it is finished with for the present 
- if you omit this line the printer will print everything 
that appears on the screen thereafter!!

This small program exercise could help you to get your next 
fivesubmissions off to Gus in good time.
