!AWFeb92/Goodies/Resources/ReadMe

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.

System Resources - a new approach
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The model:     There are two resource applications, !System and !Scrap.

               !System defines System$Path (i.e. System:) which provides
               indirection to the system modules directory.  This directory
               contains the Acorn system modules.  Effectively this
               directory is read only.

               !Scrap defines Wimp$Scrap and Wimp$ScrapDir which provide
               somewhere to store temporary files.  Effectively, this
               directory is write only.

               !SysMerge is a utility which manages the updating of the new
               !System as later versions become available.  It is only ever
               provided with the new !System.

The benefits:  Previously !System was used as both a source for commonly
               required (Acorn?) system modules AND a place in which to
               store temporary files.

               On networks this lead to there having to be a copy of !System
               for each user so as to provide a place for temporary files,
               therefore causing the unnecessary duplication of the system
               modules.  !Scrap allows each user to be provided with a place
               for temporary files with a very small space overhead
               and !System is only provided once as a central resource.

               For the 'single floppy disc drive' user the problem is one of
               frequent disc changes.  This is typically caused by the
               system resources (!System) being on one disc and the
               application being on another due to limited space on the
               latter.  A disc change is therefore requested whenever a
               temporary file needs to be created.

               This problem may be overcome when it is understood that,
               typically, an application will only need to download system
               modules at start-up.  Any run-time requirement is likely to
               be for temporary file storage.  Therefore, if !Scrap is
               provided on the application disc, there will only be the one
               request to insert the !System disc, when the application is
               started.



The rules:     i)   Third party distribution of system resources will be
                    restricted to those modules which the application
                    requires for correct operation and cannot be assumed to
                    be easily available to the user.

                    The definition of 'easily available' may change in the
                    future, but is currently those versions as supplied with
                    the originally shipped RISC OS based systems.

               ii)  Users will be encouraged to have a 'system disc' which
                    contains their unique (to them) copy of !System. 
                    Multiple copies of !System is discouraged and third
                    party 'single disc solutions' will not be supported by
                    Acorn.

               iii) !Scrap may be viewed as public domain and distributed
                    freely.  Users of 'single floppy disc drive' systems
                    should be encouraged to have a copy of !Scrap on all
                    discs and educated to double-click on it when a new disc
                    is viewed.

               iv)  !System is always distributed with !Scrap and !SysMerge
                    and the latter should be the only way in which !System
                    is updated.

               v)   A licence is required to distribute !System.
