D/LETTS3
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.

**************************************
I was once employed by a company where the staff went out of their way to
give their fellow workers a "good send-off" when they reached retirement
age.
Money was collected to purchase a suitable parting gift, and on the "Big
Day" vast quantities of alcohol were drunk in the nearby pub at lunch
time, then, back in the work's canteen, the retiree's praises were sung by
a succession of worthies who were "unaccustomed to public speaking". With
a tear in his eye and a lump in his throat, the deeply moved old-timer
would be waved off as he withdrew into the sunset.
All very nice, all very proper. BUT.... a strange thing would happen if
the object of all this attention ever dared to show his face at his old
work-place thereafter. And many did! Perhaps through nostalgia for "the
good old days" or because they found they were getting under foot at home,
a large number seemed drawn to "look in" on their old mates.
They were never greeted with much enthusiasm and shouts of "Get back
home!", or "No vacancies here!" (and often less restrained comments!)
would ring out the moment they were spotted.
People can be so fickle and it would seem that once you go, they prefer
you to stay GONE! I hope my "popping up" every now and then like this will
not provoke a similar response from my fellow EUG members, many of whom I
like to think have become friends (albeit at a distance) over the years.
I recently received my copy of Issue 14 and I have to say that considering
the amount of time he had, and the limited material that was available to
him, Gus has done an excellent job. Granted, there were one or two hicups,
but then DFS users will remember my own almighty blunder with their
versions of the Issue 9 disc! These things happen, but I'm sure that any
glitches will have been identified and remedied by now! The main thing is
that my monitor screen almost crackled with the enthusiasm that Gus
transmitted and the future looks very good from where I'm standing!
However, the change-over was so swift and my time was so limited that I
didn't get a chance to formally offer my own very sincere thanks to all
those who had helped me in my capacity as editor since 1991.
From the first, DEREK WALKER was a great help and a mine of information.
Later, he became the unsung driving force that held things together for a
while. It was he who actually created some order out of my chaotic record
system - such as it was.
RICHARD DIMOND never ceases to amaze me. You send him a half-baked BASIC
program that just about does what you want it to, and a few days later he
returns a slick ultra-efficient Machine Code version! His undoubted
talents and modesty are worthy of praise.
Many other names spring to mind, including:-
ROY WARNER - slaved over his excellent Assembly Language tutorials, only
to have his listings nobbled by my inexpert transcriptions.
TOM BOUSTEAD - endevoured to help certain individuals (myself included) to
understand the mysteries of VIEW Printer Drivers through personal
correspondence.
CHRISTOPHER CHADWICK - sometimes outspoken, often considered abrasive, but
never dull.
HOWARD GUPPY - who sent in many interesting snippets - and once cheerfully
advised me to "Put your analyst on danger money baby!"
FRANK JONES - a more recent contact who's witty letters are always a
pleasure to receive.
I could go on, but the list would fill this disc. Needless to say, even if
I haven't mentioned your name, I still appreciate all the help, support
and encouragement you gave me.
But the one person I can't fail to mention is CHRISTIAN WEBER. The file
containing his personal letters to me must weigh about 1 kilogram now, and
no doubt it will grow heavier in the future. Without his business-like
Games Expert hat on, the man is completely bonkers and his communications
have provided many much-appreciated belly laughs. With his permission I
might even publish some of our exchanges in the future (edited for
"family" reading of course!).
But now it's time to turn 180 degrees and look ahead! I think I can speak
with a little authority when I say that the main problem that Gus will
encounter is a possible lack of submissions to include on future discs.
Personally, I intend to contribute as much as possible, so if you are
dreading the prospect of endless drivel penned by Yours Truly, get your
own contributions sent off as soon as possible so that there is no room
for my efforts!
Finally, I would like to announce that after all this time, and by a
strange freak of fate, I can now be contacted by TELEPHONE! We had a line
installed at the end of June (incoming calls only) so if you fancy a chat,
the number to call is:-
0268 415157
