Patch/ReadMe1st
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.

File contents
Information
===========
This directory contains a small patch to be included in the standard
Risc OS Boot structure. It is required when ExtraBar itself is included
in the boot sequence itself as some software can force ExtraBar to open
its main window behind the pinboard. It remains there till Shift-F12 is
pressed.
Installation
============
Risc OS 3.5 or above
--------------------
� Copy this !Boot application over your copy on your hard drive.
� Shutdown the desktop and restart the machine after copying Extrabar
to your harddrive from the archive.
Risc OS 3.4 or below
--------------------
� Depending on how your boot up system is configured add the F12Toggle
application that is contained inside of the !Boot application to it.
(copy it over)
� Then to the desktop file you have saved. Add the following line to it.
Filer_Run <path>.!F12Toggle
