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.

!Help file for !ProcFunc
Have you ever found yourself looking through BASIC programs and saying to
yourself "Now where did I put that procedure?". If so, then this application
simplifies the process because all you have to do is to drop a BASIC program
on to the icon and the main window will open up with two scrollable windows
which show all the procedures and functions within that BASIC program. The
programs filename is given at the top of this window so you know what
program you are looking at.
Note that is a procedure or function takes parameters, then these are NOT
shown, instead the procedure or function name is given and this is followed
by () which indicates that the procedure or function takes parameters.
Once this window is open, clicking on any of the procedure or function
names, a window will open from which you will be able to save that procedure
or function after clicking on the Save Proc/Fn icon. This will then open up
a menu from which you will be able to save the procedure or function ready
to be incorporated into your own programs as either a BASIC program or as a
text file.
Clicking on 'Show listing' will open up a window after a period of time (the
period of time dependent upon the size of the procedure or function) so that
you can see whether it is actually the procedure or function you are looking
for.
It is also possible to search through the list of procedure and function
names by clicking with Menu anywhere on the main window and selecting
Search... from the menu. This then opens a dialogue box, in which you set
the string you wish to search for, whether the search string is contained
within a string, it begins with the search string, it ends with the search
string or the search string given is the full name of the procedure or
function that you wish to search for. You may also set whether the program
is to look only for procedures, functions or for both of them. After
clicking on Search the application will tell you how many it has found by
displaying the result in the bottom left hand corner of the window. If the
search has been successful then clicking on Show results will open up the
window described earlier from which you will be able to save the procedures
or functions. If you now look at this window you will notice that the two
arrow icons on the right hand side of the window will be unshaded. This will
allow you to cycle through the list of procedure and/or functions that the
application has found which mathced your search criteria. Each of the
procedures and functions found will be able to be saved as before.
The iconbar menu is a standard menu with one extra option - Dragging - this
will be shaded for users of RISC OS 2 unless you have a copy of the Drag A
Sprite module present in your machine. If this is not shaded then it will
lead to a submenu from which you will be able to decide whether to drag
either a sprite or a bounding box during the save operation. Initially this
is set to Sprites.
I hope you have some use for this application, I have found it invaluable
when I have been generating desktop applications as it has allowed me to cut
down my program development time as I now simply extract the procedures and
functions that I require a lot quicker that I did before
Known problems that are currently being worked on....
The only known problem to date is in showing the listings for long (?)
procedures and functions that occur at the end of VERY long programs (130K
plus at least), the last few lines do not appear. However, these lines are
not lost when you save the procedures or functions to disc so there is no
need to panic. I hope to have this slight problem corrected soon.... 00000000 21 48 65 6c 70 20 66 69 6c 65 20 66 6f 72 20 21 |!Help file for !| 00000010 50 72 6f 63 46 75 6e 63 0a 0a 48 61 76 65 20 79 |ProcFunc..Have y| 00000020 6f 75 20 65 76 65 72 20 66 6f 75 6e 64 20 79 6f |ou ever found yo| 00000030 75 72 73 65 6c 66 20 6c 6f 6f 6b 69 6e 67 20 74 |urself looking t| 00000040 68 72 6f 75 67 68 20 42 41 53 49 43 20 70 72 6f |hrough BASIC pro| 00000050 67 72 61 6d 73 20 61 6e 64 20 73 61 79 69 6e 67 |grams and saying| 00000060 20 74 6f 0a 79 6f 75 72 73 65 6c 66 20 22 4e 6f | to.yourself "No| 00000070 77 20 77 68 65 72 65 20 64 69 64 20 49 20 70 75 |w where did I pu| 00000080 74 20 74 68 61 74 20 70 72 6f 63 65 64 75 72 65 |t that procedure| 00000090 3f 22 2e 20 49 66 20 73 6f 2c 20 74 68 65 6e 20 |?".
