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 program was originally written by me ages ago as a simple Basic
Program.I have now altered it to use Windows, Icons, Mice, Pointers, in
other words, WIMPs!  The impetus for this conversion was given by Adrian
Look & Mike Ironmonger, for which my thanks go to these gentlemen!  Other
than that, the program is mine and put into the Public Domain in February
1991 in version 2.00. 

------------------UIM_Editor--------------------

How it works, this program works by loading in the default Submariner
Character as stored on the UIM Disk in the file "$.!UIM.Brogan".  Although I
have run this, and the earlier non-Multi Tasking program, many times in
developing and testing on my UIM Disk, I do not accept any responsibility
for mucking up or causing corruptionto your !UIM Game Disk.  You have been
warned! Use a backup copy, at least of Brogan, and if you can, try to keep a
copy of the original  Brogan so that you can always go back to it in the
future!

It works because although UIM checksums your saved Data File, which if it
does not match, the Arc locks up, this does not (yet) happen with the
default Brogan file....

Version 2.30 on - See below for improvements about that!

----------------  How to Use it ------------------

First of all, double click on the !UIM_Edit icon in your Disk Directory,
then either create a directory called !UIM on a spare disk and copy Brogan
to this from your UIM Game Disk, or insert the game disk in the drive.
Remember the warning above!

Now, click on the Icon "UIM Edit" on the Icon Bar and after a short pause,
during which the File Brogan is loaded into memory, a re-sizable window will
appearon screen.  This is a normal DeskTop window and can be moved or
resized as usual.  There are three types of Icon in this window.  The first,
like the first one seen, has arrows at either side of a text icon.  Clicking
on either of these will cycle through the allowed options. The next type is
a writable icon, such as the Cash amount and the third is the Radio on/off
Icon pairings.  

This is the first Wimp Version, so there are bound to be slight bugs.   As I
find then, I'll correct them but if you find any, please let me know
sometime, thanks.

Some I am aware of and will fix in due course are:-
     1) You can de-select both Radio Options which ends up equaling YES
     2) You can enter more Cash than you are allowed
     3) You can have more than four "Weight-Limiting" items, but I'm leaving
        that in!
                     

Once you have created your desired character, move to the bottom  of the
window, and click on OK (or  Quit).  OK tells the program you have finished
and it saves the amended Character back to disk as Brogan. The window is
closed at this point.  Though the program stays on the Icon Bar.  To remove
this, select Quit from either, the Icon Bar, the bottom of the program
screen or the Task Window Menu.  If you want to quit without saving any
changes, either QUIT (as above) or just Close the window.  

Oh  yes, if Brogan is not found at the start of the program, when you first
click left/Select on the Icon Bar, the program Exits then and there!

Once created, load UIM in the  usual way, and re-save your character under
your preferred name when ready.  

My thanks go to STWPD for the initial hint on getting started with this
project, also to Mike Ironmonger for his article and Program "EasyWimp" in
Beebug's Risc User, which has given me the encouragement to convert my
original program to use the Desktop properly (?) even to appearing on the
Icon Bar!  I have now also managed to incorporate an Info Box on my own!
Well, using Form Ed, thanks Adrian!

If you find any bugs or problems or just plain cock-ups, please feel free to
drop me a line.  If I can help I will, or if you alter the program, I would
appreciate a copy so I know which versions are floating around and can offer
an "official" version number.  Thanks.

30th December 1990


Please excuse the funny spacing in places, I'm using a loan A310 instead of
my own 2Meg A3000 and the Space Bar sticks quite a little, some times
there's no spacesatall,and  at others,two or even three appear!  Quite
annoying I can tell you!

===============================   February 1991   ========================
VERSION 1.00 up to Version 2.00

This was in fact the original !UIM_Hack which I wrote AGES ago but as a
single tasking program which thus took over the whole computer!  It used the
full Mode 12 screen and had a long, long list of Y/N key presses.  Boring!
But it worked so I suppose it was okay.

Version 2.00

Using early version of EasyWimp, now Desktop compatiable.
Sprite sucks though!

Version 2.03

Back on my own A3000 at last!  Referring to the Limitations/Bugs above, the
Maximum Cash value has now been trapped so you should not be able to enter
more than you are allowed.
Bit more reasonable sprite now, but....

Version 2.04

I have now found out how to update certain Icons so now, if you de-select
both Yes & No "Radio" Icons on the various options, the "No" icon switches
itself back on.  

Version 2.05 (3rd March 1991)
                  
Just a minor change, a new Sprite for the Icon Bar & Directory Displays,
that's all.  

Version 2.30 (16th July 1991)

Major changes!  Now it will accept any valid UIM Character File, filename whatever and (so far) will correctly recalcuate the "CRC" Checks so that !UIM accepts it. 

See also the !Help file which continues on from here with more uptodate
details of the latest changes....  And there are a few!

=========================================================================

Oh yes, there is one other thing, there are quite a number of other bits and
pieces of Equipment you can obtain, usually from Missions, I've found out
what quite a few of these are, but have left them out of the Editor for a
couple of reasons.  First, don't want to spoil ALL the fun (?) and secondly,
the EasyWimp program which I've used as a basis for the Wimp Handling
Routines does not like more than 255 or so icons......

Another day perhaps.

And that day has now come!  Version 2.4x now allows you to access the bits and pieces that you normally need to complete a mission for!  But, try to leave yourself something to do won't you!
