!AWMar91/Goodies/Filer/!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.

                             -----------------

!Filer is intended to complement the RISC filer by providing functions such
as *Settype, *Access and *Lock without the need for '*' commands.

Functionality will be extended to include icon driven accessing, and futher
functions will be added in the future.

!Filer currently requires 24K to run.

The main menu of !Filer also provides a Park Disks option. This simply
sends a *Shutdown command to the OSCLI.

More menu commands will be added at a later version as will a seperate 
access window.

If you have improved the programme in any way please write to me at
