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.

Dear Gus,
I must apologise for printer routine not working with perforation skip. I
do not use continuous sheet feed with my printer and so had not checked it
fully and thought I had copied the routine correctly from CODE5.
I found that I must have altered one line to break out of the program with
an RTS instruction and had not restored the correct line. This resulted
in the first line only of each file being printed! I have now corrected
this and also amended the routine to avoid an unnecessary jump.
I hope that all is well now. I have checked the routine as best I can by
altering temporaarily the values entered in 'lines' and 'skiplines' in the
menu. These may be altered to suit your printer and paper if the values
are not correct - I had to guess these values when I first did the coding.
If there are any further problems, please let me know and I shall do my
best to sort them out.
Regards,
Richard
Sorry about this Richard but I can't get your new CODE6 to run properly.
When printing to the screen it printed the first 6 lines or so
continuously and the cycle can only be broken by pressing break when the
computer resets itself.
I checked the listing and compared it with the last listing for CODE6. I
noticed changes in lines 130 and 670, also a new line 135.
I tried altering ?lines=6 to ?lines=60 to no effect.
I put an RTS into 670 as in the previous version of CODE6 and I got
printing to the screen but printing to paper only printed 2 lines then
stopped.
On a brighter note I have finally remembered to use your bold print which
you provided.
Now if everyone finds out how to do it they might all send in text in bold
print then we will be back to square one, well not quite because if
anything can get members to write something and send it in for the rest of
us then we have gained a lot.
