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.

File contents
36, Tattenham Way, Tadworth, Surrey. KT20 5NJ 23rd November 1997 Dear Gus, I enclose a disc containing four submissions for the December EUG. As usual, I have put them in seperate directories: JUPITER3 - The sequel to Shipwrecked. Type CHAIN"Ship" to start. The other files contain various data which is needed by the game. PROGTECH - Part two of my Programming Technique article, saved in three sections (with the standard EUG prefixes). ADVERT - A revised version of the econet advert published last time - please put this into the shopping section. EUG35 - A special Chrismas title screen for EUG35. I hope that these submissions aren't too big to all fit onto one EUG disc, as they take up almost half the disc when put together. Could you please send me a replacement copy of EUG34, as it seems that the Royal Mail were rather violent with my copy. I tried removing the gate, which was bent out of shape and stopped me from getting the disk into the drive, but many programs still produce disc errors when I try to read them. I did manage to read your programming tutorial, though, and I don't see it as competing with mine at all. If anything, I think that it is a good companion to mine, as it shows you step by step the processes of writing one particular program while mine is much more general. Yours sincerely,
