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.

Programming The ARM
-------------------
By Paul Fellows
The example programs in this section demonstrate software protection
methods. The programs are described by the Programming The ARM article in
the March '91 issue of Archimedes World magazine. To run the programs select
the 'Open viewer' item from the disk menu. Now double-click on the Program1
or Program2 BASIC program icons.
When you run Program1, the computer will not respond to any mouse button
activity thus removing control of the desktop. To stop the program either
press <CTRL> and <ALT> together or press <ESCAPE>.
When Program2 has been run, you will lose control of the desktop. Type in
the word 'MyName' exactly as it is here with the correct lower and upper
case letters. This will enable you to control the desktop once more. If this
fails then reset the computer.
If you try to open the 'LookInHere' directory you will lose control of the
desktop and the pointer will become the hourglass. To gain control you need
to type 'MyName' in the same way as above. If this does not work then simply
reset the computer. 00000000 0a 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 |. | 00000010 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 50 72 6f | Pro| 00000020 67 72 61 6d 6d 69 6e 67 20 54 68 65 20 41 52 4d |gramming The ARM| 00000030 0a 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 |. | 00000040 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 2d 2d 2d | ---| 00000050 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d |----------------| 00000060 0a 0a 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 |.. | 00000070 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 | | 00000080 42 79 20 50 61 75 6c 20 46 65 6c 6c 6f 77 73 0a |By Paul Fellows.| 00000090 0a 0a 54 68 65 20 65 78 61 6d 70 6c 65 20 70 72 |..The example pr| 000000a0 6f 67 72 61 6d 73 20 69 6e 20 74 68 69 73 20 73 |ograms in this s| 000000b0 65 63 74 69 6f 6e 20 64 65 6d 6f 6e 73 74 72 61 |ection demonstra| 000000c0 74 65 20 73 6f 66 74 77 61 72 65 20 70 72 6f 74 |te software prot| 000000d0 65 63 74 69 6f 6e 0a 6d 65 74 68 6f 64 73 2e 20 |ection.methods. | 000000e0 54 68 65 20 70 72 6f 67 72 61 6d 73 20 61 72 65 |The programs are| 000000f0 20 64 65 73 63 72 69 62 65 64 20 62 79 20 74 68 | described by th| 00000100 65 20 50 72 6f 67 72 61 6d 6d 69 6e 67 20 54 68 |e Programming Th| 00000110 65 20 41 52 4d 20 61 72 74 69 63 6c 65 20 69 6e |e ARM article in| 00000120 0a 74 68 65 20 4d 61 72 63 68 20 27 39 31 20 69 |.the March '91 i| 00000130 73 73 75 65 20 6f 66 20 41 72 63 68 69 6d 65 64 |ssue of Archimed| 00000140 65 73 20 57 6f 72 6c 64 20 6d 61 67 61 7a 69 6e |es World magazin| 00000150 65 2e 20 54 6f 20 72 75 6e 20 74 68 65 20 70 72 |e.
