Documents/Versions
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
This file is intended to allow users of an earlier version of !Killer to quickly understand the changes between versions. This file explains the changes between those versions, and the present version (2.100). Version numbers which end with two zeroes (eg 1.700, 1.800) are termed 'major' releases and sent to everyone. Intermediate versions usually represent minor bugfixes, or the addition of newly found relatively harmless viruses. New features intended for the next major release may also start appearing in intermediate versions. Changes between 2.002 and 2.100: Version 2.003 2nd May 1995 --------------------------- Fix a problem with removing viruses. Version 2.004 26th May 1995 --------------------------- Several more Icon variants, SystemUtils. Version 2.005 20th June 1995 ---------------------------- Another Icon variant Version 2.006 25th June 1995 ---------------------------- Three more icon variants. Version 2.100 6th July 1995 ---------------------------- New major version. 'Hellfire' virus added, plus an Icon strain. Version 2.101 14th July 1995 ---------------------------- New Icon and Extend strains added.
