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
*INFO Compiled by Dave Lawrence and Dave Acton Run this option to open a directory containing the programs from this month's *INFO column. Note: The following files are NOT suitable for Risc OS 2: ColTri and FatLines ColTri, FatLines and Moire are graphics demos. Disint demonstrates random screen fading. The CSD directory contains the module CSDModule, and its source code CSDModSrc. Double-click on the module to load it: now positioning the pointer over a directory window and pressing ALT-HOME will set the CSD to that directory. A beep confirms that the CSD has been set. The SharedCLib directory contains the SCL module, its source, and a test program. To test the module, you must first copy the files onto another disc, as the compression used on this disc is read-only. Then double-click on ThisDir to set the CSD correctly, and double-click on FileTest. This loads the SCLmod module, and demonstrates the file access commands fprintf and fscanf. A file called 'junk' is created as part of the demonstration. The source code for the SCL module is contained in the directory SCL and the program SCLsrce. For more information, see the article on page 101 in the magazine. � Copyright BBC Acorn User 1993
