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.

�...*..*..*.........*...........*..........*............*...............< Banners Documentation Banners allows messages to be printed horizontally or vertically down sheets of continuous listing paper. This banners can then be hung horizontally with the sprocket holes running left to right ( if not removed ) or vertically with the sprocket holes running top to bottom. Any characters can be incorporated in a banner, the program reads the BBC's character set when run and uses this for each character. When a banner is printed a vertical and horizontal multiplier can be set, these allow each character to be increased in size upto a factor of ten. The best size for the characters will depend on what the banner is to be used for but I usally set the vertical multiplier slighly larger than the horizontal to prevent the characters looking "fat". For simplicity the program is menu driven. There are only 6 options ( including quit ) displayed. It is possible to enter operating system commands from the menu. The options available are: Save and Load - these allow the current settings to be saved to disc for future use. If you are using a tape system you will have to remove the section in save which looks for any file which may have the same name as the one you have specified. Change Settings - the settings which this allows access to are at the heart of the program. The horizontal and vertical multipliers have already been descibed. The left, top and bottom gaps allow space to be left on the left of each character ( thus allowing characters to be in the centre of a sheet ), and blank lines to be left above or below each letter, these allow for each letter to be printed on separate sheets of paper. Normaly when printing each letter is made of Xs, but this can be changed, some characters are more suitable for use than others e.g. * can be used effectively as can O but - is less effective. Likewise a blank ( space ) is usally used for the background but this can be changed. Finaly line spacing can be set. This allows the space between each line of characters making up a letter to be varied. The line spacing is descibed as a fraction of an inch, n/216th of an inch. This is normaly set to 36, the default setting on most printers. By increasing this letters become more spaced out and by reducing it they become more compact. This may necessitate some changes in the lines at the top and bottom of each letter. Message - this allows three messages to be specified. The main message which will be printed out in large letters and a pre message, which is printed before the main message and a post message which printed at the end of the main message. Print - this allows the message ( plus pre and post messages ) to be printed out. The option can be selected and used without the printer being switched on so some idea of the end result will appear. When entering data if return is pressed without anything being entered then the current setting will be left the same. By altering settings between printing letters of the same word various effects can be gained e.g. letters which get smaller ( or larger ) as read. As it stands Banners is set to use an Epson standed dot matrix printer but it is in no way restricted to this. The program should run equally ( is not better ) on a daisy wheel. The program only uses two special control codes, the code for escape ( which is normally standed anyway ) and the code for n/216 line feed. These are both set by the procedure epson_codes. Once these values are changed the program should run unchanged on any printer.
