Johnson/Lister/!Lister/Docs/Help
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.

!Lister help file

Introduction
------------
This is a very simple program which simply lists files. These files can be
held within a directory - it doesn't matter, the program will open the
directory and scan.
It will work with all filetypes, and any archives listed as &DDC (!Spark,
!Zip and a few others).
How to use
----------
Simple. Either click on the icon on the menubar or just drag the directory
to the iconbar. The program does the rest.
Limitations
-----------
A maximum of 5000 files can be scanned.
Options
-------
The output file can be either held as the full pathname or just the
filename. This is done by pressing MENU on the mouse over the iconbar icon
and selecting FULL PATH.
There is also a menu button on the program window for saving and reseting.
Conditions of use
-----------------
The software is to be used "as is". It won't harm your machine or do
anything rotten anywhere else. That said, no hacking the windows and trying
to pass it off as your own - that's very naughty and the men with big clubs
may pay you a visit in the night!
