!RMClear?

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
 Note, some naughty games (no recent ones, though) decide to kill all
unwanted modules to free memory, by issuing a *RMClear command. This will
kill a CheatMod. You can stop this by pressing F12 and typing:

Set Alias$RMClear Set dHacker$RMClear Stopped

 This makes RMClear perform something entirely different, with no visible
effect. Desktop Hacker performs this in its boot file, so if you have 'seen'
Desktop Hacker before running the CheatMod, you don't need to type the above.

 Luckily, this practice is dying out, as it's entirely silly.
