F/+Hint2
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
To USE microspacing:
1) In PDG (see pages 10 and 17 of manual) specify microspacing. You need
to refer to your printer manual for whether HMI code adjustment is
required. If in doubt type NO. You need to get HMI setting code from the
printer manual.
2) Before printing load printer driver with: PRINTER epson (for example)
then set microspacing with MICROSPACE. You may be able to pur numbers
after the MICROSPACE command to achieve different "pitches" (lengths of
character) on the printer. Try MICROSPACE 12 (or 10, or 15).
PAGE LAYOUT
View has a very flexible way of controlling the layout of the text on the
page, but this can be confusing at first. Unexpected blank areas in the
text are usually an indication that you haven't taken advantage of this
flexibility.
A View page is divided into 6 parts, listed here in the order they occur
on the page.
THE TOP MARGIN A number of blank lines printed at the top of the page,
before the header. View defaults to 4 lines, but this can be changed by the
stored command TM n, where n is the number of lines you would like. n
can be 0, when no lines will be printed.
THE HEADER A single line which is printed on each page. It is defined with
the DH command and can be temporarily changed back to a blank line with
the HE command. (Note that a line is always printed, although it may
be blank.)
THE HEADER MARGIN A number of blank lines printed after the header and
before the main text. View defaults to 4 lines, but this can be changed by
the stored command HM n, where n is the number of lines you would like.
n can be 0, when no lines will be printed.
THE MAIN TEXT The main text will be printed here. The number of lines
depends on the margins and page length - the explanation of page length
below.
THE FOOTER MARGIN A number of blank lines printed after the main text and
before the footer. View defaults to 4 lines, but this can be changed by
the stored command FM n, where n is the number of lines you would like.
n can be 0, when no lines be printed.
THE FOOTER A single line which is printed on each page. It is defined with
the DF command, and can be temporarily changed back to a blank line with
the FO command. (Note that a line is always printed, although it may
be blank.)
THE BOTTOM MARGIN A number of blank lines printed at the bottom of the
page after the footer. View defaults to 4 lines, but this can be
changed by the stored command FM n, where n is the number of lines you
would like. n can be 0, when no lines will be printed.
The commands that affect the page layout take effect on the next page to
be printed. A common mistake is to leave a blank line before these
commands, which is printed as part of the text area, so the header, and
header and footer margins have been printed before the commands affecting
them have been encountered. This results in the first page not having the
desired layout, but second and subsequent pages being correct.
If you have View 3, and want just continuous text, the PB stored command
can be used to turn off all the margins, and headers and footers.
PAGE LENGTH
The page length in View means the total of the margins, header lines, and
text area. This means that the number of lines of main text is
page length - margins - header line - footer line
For the default length of 66 lines, and with the default margins this is
66 - 4*4 - 2 = 48 lines of text.
Standard paper is 66 lines long, but you can alter the View page length
with the PL stored command. If your printer skips the perforation
automatically, you will need to account for this.
A simple way to calculate the length required is to run the following
BASIC program (hit ESCAPE when more than a page has been printed) and
count the number of lines appearing on a page. This is the value for
view's page length.

ViewStore Hints and Tips
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 DFS 0.90
Strange effects are sometimes encountered when using DFS 0.90 with
Viewstore:
When using multiple surfaces the disc catalogue can be written to an
incorrect surface. This is manifested by the 'Disc changed' message on
returning to command screen followed by drive 0 apparently being overwritten
with the files from drive 2.
Some problems can occur when building indexes.
The solution is to upgrade to Acorn DFS 1.2, 1772 DFS or ADFS.
2 LABEL
To enable Utility Label to prompt for use of select file you need to prepare
a patch file as follows:
Type: *BASIC
?&2800 = &FF
*save patch 2800 + 1
Then immediately before using utility Label enter:
*Load patch 50
Label with then give the 'Use Select file (N,Y)' prompt.
