Help/Verify

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.

            ** VERIFY **

  The disc  formatting  program, EFORM,
automatically  checks a disc to  ensure
that it  has  been formatted correctly.
It is sometimes  desirable to check the
validity of the formatting of a disc at
a  later date, to  make sure that there
are no errors on it.

  VERIFY  will  check  each  sector  to
determine if it is readable.

  To   verify  a  disc,  type  *VERIFY,
optionally  followed  by the  number of
the  drive  containing  the  disc to be
verified.

e.g.   *VERIFY 0

If you do not supply  the drive number,
VERIFY will ask you  explicitly for it.

  When you have  specified the drive to
be  verified,  you  will  be  asked  to
insert the disc and press RETURN.
