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.

                             REPLACE TOOL
                             ~~~~~~~~~~~~
Use this tool to change a particular colour within a rectangular
section of the screen. It will only change those parts of the 
rectangular area which are of the colour which you have indicated.
It is especially useful for complicated areas of a picture with
lots of fiddly details to be changed. 

WARNING: THIS IS SLOW! (If you want to change an area of colour that
is reasonably large and not too fiddly use the Fill tool.)

Before selecting this tool, select the new colour you want.When you 
first go to the Painting screen, you will be asked to choose the 
colour you want to change. To choose, just press the left mouse button.

A rectangle will then appear which can be moved until it is over
the part of the screen you want. The SIZE of the rectangle can be
altered by using the UP and DOWN cursor keys. When the rectangle is 
correctly positioned and the right size, click the left mouse button.

Use the right mouse button to abandon a colour change.

To put the screen back to the original colours, press the DELETE
key.

Press the middle mouse button to return to the Menu screen.
