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.

___ _ _ ___ __ / _ \ __| |__| | / (_)_ _ / _| | _ / _` / _` |/ /| | ' \| _| |_| |_\__,_\__,_/_/ |_|_||_|_| A command line utility to convert directories of BBC files (with DFS-style filenames) stored in the standard RISC OS format to directories containing .inf files. Usage ===== Usage: Add/inf <source dir> <dest dir> [-v] [-w] [-a] Parameters: ----------- <source dir> The directory containing the BBC files. This directory should be arranged in a DFS-like way (see the chapter on 65Host in your Applications Guide for details) <dest dir> The directory to which the BBC and .inf files should be written. Will be created if necessary -v Verbose -w Wipe files in destination directory -a Use ZIP archive (requires SparkFS) Add/inf works by scanning the source directory, recording some useful information, then copying the files across to the destination directory, renaming as "000", "001", etc. Also created are files "000/inf", "001/inf", etc. - one per file in the source directory, in a format suitable for users of BBC emulators running on non-Acorn machines, and for conversion by Un/inf. If a filename is too long (ie. cannot be converted into a DFS-format filename without truncation) no files will be copied. BASIC programs, ROM images and Command files are recognised and retyped appropriately. The destination directory must already exist. It is wiped (if the -w option is used) after the scan is completed, but before copying begins. Author ====== Darren Salt.
