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.

!DELDYNAREA =========== (c) T. R. Tanner 3 Heath Close, Corsley, Wilts BA12 7NX email ttehtann@argonet.co.uk This program just sits on the icon bar. When you click menu on the icon, you can get a list of active dynamic areas. Click on an area and it will be deleted, after a confirmatory prompt. I wrote this because I have a program that kept crashing leaving vast areas of allocated memory lying scattered around. Notes: 1/ There isn't much point in running this prior to Risc OS v3.5! 2/ Don't delete dynamic areas that belong to running programs - you'll stuff everything.
