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.

Back to Basics: Learning to Program in Basic By Mark Moxon Run this application to open a directory containing three example Basic programs from the first part of the series on learning to program in Basic. Listing1 simply asks you for your name and prints a greeting. Listing2 contains a deliberate error and demonstrates the use of a simple error handler. Listing3 asks for a number between one and 12 and prints the relevant multiplication table. For more information, see the article on page 79. � Copyright BBC Acorn User 1993
