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
Acorn User Education Disc Although this disc is aimed primarily at education users, I've included some bits that I hope will be of general interest. Seven of the archives contain files which can only be used if you own the program that they were designed for. Many will own some, if not all of the programs, and hopefully the files contained on this disc will persuade some people to purchase the programs. They are all useable files - not useless demos. For those who have Impression Style, there are some label templates as well as some updated templates for the National Record of Achievement documents. There is also a selection of fancy borders for both Impression and Poster. I've included some CSV files that will create a couple of databases, and a couple of fonts for those who feel there is a general shortage of fonts around. A visit to Cadbury World in Bourneville inspired some chocolate clip art, and in stark contrast, the first ever map of the world. I hope everyone will find something here and that you will find it to be worth more than it cost! Geoff Preston
