LETTS2
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 SHOW REPORT ***************** Wearing my "8-Bit Software" Hat, I escaped the #5.00 entrance fee to this Spring's "Acorn User" show at Harrogate. There, I was to help Chris Richardson to set up our shared stand in what the organisers call "Club Corner" and on the first day try to look intelligent and convince the punters that the 8-Bit world ain't dead. It is very difficult for me to convey to you the chaos that existed that Thursday afternoon. Stands unoccupied, carpets and electrics still being laid. On totally unorganised stands, computers switched on, operators just playing games! I just could not imagine the exhibition being ready for 10 next morning. We were. A BBC, a Compact and a Master plus all necessary software. I arrived 9.30 next morning, walking past the 25 yard queue and entering to find a vast improvement, but even then everything was not shipshape and Bristol fashion. At 10 o'clock the announcement was made that the exhibition was open and as Club Corner was at the furthermost post from the entrance it was after 10.30 before the visitors began to reach us. As I was acting as the 'Barker', dishing out leaflets and jocular remarks to passerbys, I got remarks like "Oh! is this the Museum section" and "Are they still around?" but many people wanted to tell us of their affection for the BBC; how marvellous the programmers were of that era, playing about with 32k and what they acheived. And many may have their A5000 but they have still got their BBC and an odd Electron. Infact 3 chaps were there that day whose sole computer is the Electron, two were about 17 years of age and the other middle aged, and they had not heard of the E.U.G.. They have now! I hope to learn that they have got in touch with Will. One of the surprises was when one of the visitors to the stand claimed to have seen more Electrons than all of us put together. Of course we tried to guess his job thinking of wharehouseman for Acorn etc but he turned out to be the firm that dealt with the contract with "Interflora" and was responsible for altering the Electron and fitting a modem to them so that the florists could deal with orders. Apparently the number involved was 4000! If one was purely BBC/Electron there was only 8-Bit software of interest. Two other stands, both selling miscellania, one had a box of old BBC manuals and the other a dozen copies of the "Acorn User" from the '80s. That was all. It was solid Archimedes. 99.9999% It was only an hour before the exhibition closed for the day that I felt tired, the crowd beginning to thin. It had been a very happy time, lots of laughs, memories and an obvious display of affection for 8-Bit computers. Pity eveybody did not join the User Groups. Frank Jones, Thirsk, North Yorkshire. ************************************************************************** WHERE HAVE ALL THE LETTERS GONE? ******************************** EUG 12 was up to its usual high standard, except for the "Letters" section. I know you can only print what you get, but there were not many to read. Just my opinion. The new screen dumper is great! Congrats to Richard Dimond! I tried to improve it by bolting "SnapShot" (Electron User, September 1987) to it. Alas much memory clashing is going on and I am out of my depth. The clip art viewer was good but I could not dump to a printer. Any advice on this from "The man himself"? Christian Weber, Essex University. ************************************************************************** IT IS VITAL THAT EVERYONE KEEPS SENDING IN LETTERS ETC. IT WOULD BE NICE IF WE COULD HEAR FROM THOSE WHO HAVE NOT WRITTEN BEFORE, I KNOW WE'VE ACQUIRED A NUMBER OF NEW MEMBERS THIS YEAR, WHY NOT DROP US A LINE AND TELL US ALL ABOUT YOURSELVES? MY SOLUTION TO THE CLIP-ART/SCREEN-DUMP PROBLEM HAS BEEN TO INCLUDE A "SAVE SCREEN?" OPTION IN THE VIEWER PROGRAM. YOU CAN THEN LOAD THE SCREEN INTO RICHARD'S DUMP ROUTINE. THE UPGRADED PROGRAM MAY BE INCLUDE ON THIS OR A LATER DISC DEPENDING ON TIME AND SPACE. **************************************************************************
