S/M/PREVIEWER/ViewPrev

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.

�CEAMX Stop Press Clip Art Previewer

There are two versions of this program supplied; a Basic
program and a short (under a page) machine code utility. Both
do the same job, but the machine code is substantially
faster. The Basic version is included as it would perhaps be
easier to incorporate into other programs. "BasPrev" is the
Basic version, and "Preview" is the machine code, running at
&900. The source code is also included ("PrevSrc").

To use the Basic version, simply Chain it and enter the
filename. To run the machine code, the syntax required is:

*Preview <fname>

Note that to do this you must first be in Mode 0, and if this
is not the case then an error is caused ("Needs Mode 0"). An
error is also produced if <fname> is not present.

The program would be of use to those who have the Stop Press
software but wish to examine clip art without entering it, or
simply those, like me, who do not have the software, but have
acquired the clip art and wish to put it to some use!
