!VKiller/Docs/Credits
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
Credits ------- * Simon Burrows for supplying me with the Extend Virus module (and clearly marked as so, unlike certain other contacts I have :-) ). * Philip Colmer for spotting some lax code in V1.10 and making some useful improvement suggestions. Fil also substantially reworked V2.00 to produce V2.10/2.11 (not generally released) - please see the "History" file for further details. * Hugo Fiennes for the ArchieVirus "Hypothermic" innoculator (but I could have worked it out for myself :-) ). * Alan Glover for supplying me with the CeBit Virus module and an annotated disassembly of it too. He also passed both Hypothermic and ArchieVirus onto me. * Pop Mobility Freak (Ian Ashley) for spotting the (now fixed) error in V1.10 concerned with disabling the current selected filing system. * Tor Houghton for noting that SCSI drives aren't recognised - just in the nick of time before I posted V1.20 :-) This prompted me to fix the missing RamFS parse too... * Steve Turnbull for pointing out that most "unknown" FSs have a lower case filing system name, but an upper case SWI command set. I enhanced this by leaving the lowercase check in too and also checking for uppercase + "FS" (e.g. scsi -> SCSIFS). * Graham Allan for pointing out that if the V1.20 VKiller dialogue box is moved and then closed/re-opened, it re-appears back in its original position. He also suggested that the buttons in the dialogue box should follow Acorn's guidelines more closely. * Douglas Potter for noticing that the "netprint" module was missing from the 'uninfectable' filing system modules. His other fixes had already been implemented before he wrote to me :-) * Gordon Sinclair, for a copy of the Vigay Virus BASIC program and its associated !Boot file.
