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.

!SplitCopy
=====================
By Stephen John Bayliss
(C) Archimedes World 1993
Introduction :-
!SplitCopy is a program which will copy complete directorys from
a hard disc to a floppy disk or disks. It does this by working out the size
of the directory, then calculates how many floppies are required.
Using !SplitCopy:-
Load !Splitcopy in the normal way so it appears on your icon bar, then drag
a directory onto the !SplitCopy icon and wait. After a few seconds a number
of windows will appear, the amount of windows depends on how many floppy
disks you will need. You will notice the disk icons are numbered.
The windows also display how many files and directories will be put onto a
disk and there total size. When you want to put the files onto a floppy
make sure you use blank formatted disks. To place files onto a floppy after
loading a directory into !SplitCopy, drag the disc icon one by one from
Floppy 1 onto a blank disks filer window. Do this for all of the windows if
you want to copy the whole directory.
Copying Back To Hard Disk:-
To put the files back onto your hard disk , drag the first disk (Floppy 1)
back to your hard disk. Then do the same for the rest in the same sequence
as you saved them, so floppy2 is dragged onto floppy 1 and so on.
Selecting Disk Capacity:-
You can select the size of disk you want to save your files to by pressing
the middle mouse button on the !Splitcopy icon, by moving the pointer to the
right will give you an options menu. The options are 640k, 800k or 1.6 for
the higher density drives.
Closing:-
This option allows you to close any of the floppies windows, allowing
selected saving.
Open:-
The open option will open any floppy windows that have been closed.
*NOTE : If you have an error when you dragged in the directory you wanted to
copy then increase the WimpSlot inside !SplitCopy's directory and
run again. I set it to a low value to save on memory but if you are
copying a big item then you will need more memory. Also, if the
program quits with out an error message then you also need to
increase the WimpSlot inside !Run or increase the module area in the
Task Manager.
