Extras/!Scrap/!Help
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
!Scrap
======
The !Scrap application is a tempoary storage area
used by applications to store documents and other
information while it is being transferred to another
application.
Some applications also use !Scrap to store other
temporary information (information which is not
being transferred to another application). These
applications may need !Scrap to have been seen
before they are run.
Error messages
==============
If an error message of the form "Can't transfer file
(use *Set Wimp$Scrap <filename>)" is given by an
application this means that the !Scrap application
has not yet been seen by the system. You should
open a directory display containing !Scrap then try
the operation again.
If the message "Protected Disc" is given when trying
to transfer information between applications. The
!Scrap application is probably on a floppy disc
which is write protected. Applications must be able
to write to the !Scrap application. Copy !Scrap to a
writable location, then double click the new !Scrap
to cause the copy to be used.
!Scrap cannot be used on a write protected floppy
disc or in a read-only location on a network. 00000000 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 | | 00000010 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 21 53 63 72 61 70 0a 20 20 | !Scrap. | 00000020 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 | | 00000030 20 20 20 20 20 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 3d 0a 0a 54 68 65 | ======..The| 00000040 20 21 53 63 72 61 70 20 61 70 70 6c 69 63 61 74 | !Scrap applicat| 00000050 69 6f 6e 20 69 73 20 61 20 74 65 6d 70 6f 61 72 |ion is a tempoar| 00000060 79 20 73 74 6f 72 61 67 65 20 61 72 65 61 20 0a |y storage area .| 00000070 75 73 65 64 20 62 79 20 61 70 70 6c 69 63 61 74 |used by applicat| 00000080 69 6f 6e 73 20 74 6f 20 73 74 6f 72 65 20 64 6f |ions to store do| 00000090 63 75 6d 65 6e 74 73 20 61 6e 64 20 6f 74 68 65 |cuments and othe| 000000a0 72 20 0a 69 6e 66 6f 72 6d 61 74 69 6f 6e 20 77 |r .information w| 000000b0 68 69 6c 65 20 69 74 20 69 73 20 62 65 69 6e 67 |hile it is being| 000000c0 20 74 72 61 6e 73 66 65 72 72 65 64 20 74 6f 20 | transferred to | 000000d0 61 6e 6f 74 68 65 72 0a 61 70 70 6c 69 63 61 74 |another.applicat| 000000e0 69 6f 6e 2e 0a 0a 53 6f 6d 65 20 61 70 70 6c 69 |ion...Some appli| 000000f0 63 61 74 69 6f 6e 73 20 61 6c 73 6f 20 75 73 65 |cations also use| 00000100 20 21 53 63 72 61 70 20 74 6f 20 73 74 6f 72 65 | !Scrap to store| 00000110 20 6f 74 68 65 72 20 0a 74 65 6d 70 6f 72 61 72 | other .temporar| 00000120 79 20 69 6e 66 6f 72 6d 61 74 69 6f 6e 20 28 69 |y information (i| 00000130 6e 66 6f 72 6d 61 74 69 6f 6e 20 77 68 69 63 68 |nformation which| 00000140 20 69 73 20 6e 6f 74 20 0a 62 65 69 6e 67 20 74 | is not .being t| 00000150 72 61 6e 73 66 65 72 72 65 64 20 74 6f 20 61 6e |ransferred to an| 00000160 6f 74 68 65 72 20 61 70 70 6c 69 63 61 74 69 6f |other applicatio| 00000170 6e 29 2e 20 54 68 65 73 65 0a 61 70 70 6c 69 63 |n).
