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.

This document attempts to help with commonly experienced View problems.
Additional information on the features mentioned can be found in View
books supplied with the program.
PRINTERS AND VIEW
View can use virtually any printer that is compatible with the computer.
To use any special features the printer may have you will need a printer
driver, and this is best obtained using the Acornsoft Printer Driver
Generator.
This program is a series of questions on your printer, which should be
answered using the manual for your printer. Understanding the printer
manual is probably the most difficult part. The program then creates a
printer driver for subsequent use by the View family.
Some hints on the use of the Printer Driver Generator.
Don't forget the HT 2 130 command if you want to access the extended
highlight codes.
The questions in the Printer Driver Generator are only suggested uses of
that particular highlight code - it is up to you what function you choose
for that code.
Effects that are required for the whole document, perhaps for example
condensed mode, can be entered in response to the printer initialisation
question, and then will take effect immediately printing starts. This
question also allows a large number of codes.
Characters #`_'$
Dollar Sign and Hash sign - You have to enter the codes the PRINTER uses
for these characters. For ` you enter "#". If your printer prints # and $
characters; then you have to enter the codes from the printer manual into
the PDG.
Different printers use different codes to represent the above characters.
Some printers do not have some of the characters, others use long escape
sequences to reach them.
Sometimes you will find that the character(s) you want can be printed by
sending other characters from the BBC. For example you may find that
sending # prints ` or sending ` prints $. This may be the easiest or only
way of printing the character you want.
The Printer Driver generator recognizes this problem and gives an
alternative way of printing #/` and $. You can enter a code or codes which
the printer uses to print the characters. So for example if you reply to
PDG response: ESC 17 to the code for ` question then the printer driver
will send ESC 17 to the printer when it receives the pound sign from VIEW.
MICROSPACING AND CHARACTER PITCH
View can adjust the spacing between words to 'justify' the text. If your
printer is capable of it, this adjustment can be in fractions of a
character width. To use this feature, type MICROSPACE after loading a
suitable printer driver.
Note that this is not the same as proportional spacing, where the spacing
of idividual characters is adjusted. View cannot proportionally space
text, but your printer may be capable of doing this independently.
View, by default, assumes 12 pitch text when calculating this spacing. To
change this, there is optional parameter to the MICROSPACE command. This
takes the form of a number indicating the character width in 1/120ths of
an inch. This means that the pitch, which is characters to the inch, is
120 divided by this number. So....
10 pitch is MICROSPACE 12
12 pitch is MICROSPACE 10
15 pitch is MICROSPACE 8
and so on.
MICROSPACING - When typing text in VIEW with "Justification" on VIEW
inserts spaces into the line between words to align the text at the right
margin. This can give an uneven number of spaces between words.
MICROSPACING on the printer is changing the gaps between words so that all
of the gaps are the same length and the text is still right-aligned.
Clever printer drivers can do this in conjunction with the printer - IF
the printer supports microspacing.
PROPORTIONAL SPACING - Normally when typing text on the screen and
printing, each character is displayed having the same width, therefore, in
VIEW, 74 characters fit under the standard ruler.
Proportional spacing is printing each character in its own width.
Therefore, more 'i's and 'j's will fit on a line than 'm's and 'w's. Many
printers can do this and VIEW printer drivers can switch on and off
proportional spacing. BUT if you change the length of characters the
alignment at the right margin will be lost. This is because the
proportional spacing is done AFTER the alignment.
