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.

DITHER TOOL
~~~~~~~~~~~
This tool is for changing a colour by mixing it with a new one.
It is not the same as mixing paints. If you mix yellow and blue
paint you get yellow, of course, but if you mix yellow and green
with the dither tool you will get something very different.
Before choosing this tool you must first have chosen the colour you
want to add to your painting. You will then need to select the colour
you want to mix with. Do this by positioning the cross over the
chosen colour and click on it using the left mouse button.
A square will then appear which you can position over your chosen
area of the picture. Adjust the size by using UP and DOWN cursor
keys. When the square is the right size and in the right place,
just press the left mouse button.
Use the DELETE key to get rid of your new additions. (This must be done
BEFORE you return to the Menu screen.)
Press the middle mouse button to return to the Menu screen. 00000000 0a 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 |. | 00000010 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 | | 00000020 44 49 54 48 45 52 20 54 4f 4f 4c 0a 20 20 20 20 |DITHER TOOL. | 00000030 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 | | 00000040 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e | ~~~~~| 00000050 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 0a 0a 54 68 69 73 20 74 6f 6f |~~~~~~..This too| 00000060 6c 20 69 73 20 66 6f 72 20 63 68 61 6e 67 69 6e |l is for changin| 00000070 67 20 61 20 63 6f 6c 6f 75 72 20 62 79 20 6d 69 |g a colour by mi| 00000080 78 69 6e 67 20 69 74 20 77 69 74 68 20 61 20 6e |xing it with a n| 00000090 65 77 20 6f 6e 65 2e 0a 49 74 20 69 73 20 6e 6f |ew one..It is no| 000000a0 74 20 74 68 65 20 73 61 6d 65 20 61 73 20 6d 69 |t the same as mi| 000000b0 78 69 6e 67 20 70 61 69 6e 74 73 2e 20 49 66 20 |xing paints.
