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.

12 September 1996 Dear Gus Going back to my last letter and Click did you happen to catch ITN news on the 12 September. It reported the year 2000 'BUG'. Somewhat dramatically but truthful to a degree. I have been aware for sometime that the year 2000 was going to be a problem. However the problem has steadly increased in complexity as people try to solve it. Apart from the actual clock chip which may or may not increment to 2000 (many will wrap round to 1000) ie only the last three digits actually count. Software is very suspect, if the original programmers were aware that the year 2000 is not a leap year then it is likely the software traps any attempt to pass 2000 and reverts to 1986. I think CLICK is in this category. Worse if the chip responds or if a new style chip is installed and and the absence of a leap year is not known to the original software programmer it will calculate and count on a three hundred and sixty six day year. A powerful mainframe computer is not an everyday purchase but many have been updated with new software through the years most of which whist running on the same mainframe will compile various and conflicting times and dates according to the type and version of the program. For National and large financial institutions the implications a horrendous for instance some mainframes run specialist data base software which reads all the various applications and also talks to allof them. Therby acheving compatibility and data exchange. The Benefits Agency or any similar body may according to that agency's various computer applications be paying out pensions thirty years before the recipients were actually born! Of course while it will never happen quite like that there may well be quite a lot of 'Sorry can't do that today/this month the computer's down' Now is the time to perfect our skills in manually typed invoices! Much of the suspect software is written in obsolete languages, programmers are either retired, driving buses or if not dead have totally forgotten their skills. PC owners should not gloat, what will happen to DOS time and date management of files? How about Lotus 123 and Excel with their facility to use formulae based upon time and date? Take a local area network where clients costs are compiled on a time basis, were access to the net maybe limited to specific days and times? I wonder if any 'Electron' old timers can recall a somewhat academic arguement in the letters pages of "electron user" all about calendars and how to determine a leap year? General thought was that a year MOD4 in an IF THEN ELSE statement would return either a zero or a positive number. Zero indicated a leap year, a number not a leap year. The matter was finally resolved by the British Library (British Museum) confirming that the year 2000 was not a leap year therefore IF THEN ELSE statement needed to be nested with a further statement to the effect that IF yesr=2000 THENx=1 ELSE x=0. Definitely not a case of yesterdays expert being todays fool. Having just read Ross Little's account of ADFS corrupting his disc and the use of Roland Waddilove's articles to rebuild the disc indexing, I was thinking about "electron user" and reflecting that it all took place nearly ten years ago. Clever lot these eight bit buffs! Hoping Andrew Hilbig read the mid 1980's letters on the year 2000 and 'CLICK' in not a write off. I await comments on how to WRITE to the 'CLICK' calendar. Yours sincerely Roy Warner PS If anyone has a copy of "electron user containing the reference to the British Library letter I know a man who who would like to see a copy of it!
