!NetUtils/!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.

!NetUtils
=========
!NetUtils is a patch utility to load the NetUtils
module. The NetUtils module is only required for
machines using the Econet or AUN network with
NetFS 5.78 (as supplied in the RISC OS 3 Version
3.10 ROM). The NetUtils module ensures the correct
behaviour of NetFS on extending files by 128K or
more. Failure to use the NetUtils module may
result in the loss or corruption of data.
You should ensure that a directory containing
!NetUtils has been seen before altering any files
stored on a network (Econet or AUN). The easiest
way to do this is to place !NetUtils in the root
directory of your main (or startup disc) disc or
in the logon directory of each user on a network.
The NetUtils module is not required if you only
use !NFSFiler.
