!ReadMe
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.

Acorn User disc December 1995 (issue 162) disc 2 This disc contains three ArcFS archives. These can be opened using ArcFS, a copy of which is on the other disc, and all our previous cover discs. Simply run ArcFS and double-click on an archive to open it. To de-archive the programs within, drag the programs (not the whole archive) to another disc. Some programs may not run unless they are de-archived: EliteExtra contains two programs, EliteEdit and EliteExt. EliteEdit will edit Elite data files, and so can be used to cheat and give yourself extra equipment, money and kill points. For further instructions, see the help file. Needless to say, GalCop frowns upon such activities and all true Commanders wouldn't be seen dead with such a program but hey, it's a tough universe out there and dishonesty can pay. EliteEdit � Copyright Chris Davis 1995 EliteExt is slightly different, in that it enhances the game itself. It provides in-flight identification of any ships or cargo that fly through the crosshairs, a on-board clock and a pair of fluffy dice. For more information, see the help file. Needless to say, GalCop frowns upon the use of fluffy dice, and will confiscate any found in your possession. EliteExt � Copyright Ben Dooks and Andrew Clover 1995 The Regulars archive contains programs to go with all the regular features, including *INFO, the C tutorial and Run the RISC. Each directory has an accompanying !ReadMe file (many thanks to the anonymous reader who suggested this idea). The Spobbleoid directory contains an exclusive demo of Spobbleoid Fantasy, the new game from The Fourth Dimension, written by Cybernation. See the !Info file in this archive for more information. Spobbleoid Fantasy � Copyright The Fourth Dimension 1995 This disc was compiled by Acorn User magazine, and is distributed with the magazine. It was checked for viruses using Pineapple Software's Killer version 2.101. The latest Killer software can be obtained from Pineapple Software, tel: 0181-599 1476.
