Lewis/!OldModes/!Help
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.

OldModes ======== Note: RiscPC only Introduction ------------ This module creates a menu of old style pre RiscOS 3.50 modes when adjust is clicked on the Display Manager's icon on the icon bar. This is useful as some pre RiscPC applications do not like the new style modes and it saves you having to type in the mode. Use --- Clicking adjust on the Display Manager's icon generates the menu. Clicking on the mode number in the menu changes the Wimp mode. Clicking on quit turns off the module. Programmer's note ----------------- Templates MUST be defined whilst in the host task and so this module does this using a flag. When a mouse click is received by the Display Manager a flag is checked by the module and if it is clear then the templates are loaded and defined. This ALWAYS occurs before any menus are generated and so the 'info' window can be attached to the module's menu before it is produced. The flag is set once the templates are loaded.
