StarInfo/Wilson/!Toaster/!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.

 TOASTER DRIVE EMULATOR - by Matthew Wilson
------------------------

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE -
        Double-click on the !Toaster icon.
        Drag a piece of bread to the toaster on the iconbar.
        Wait for about 5 seconds.
        Drag the toast from the toaster to save it.
        Drag the toast back to the toaster, and watch it burn.

KNOWN BUGS/FAULTS -
        Unfortunately, I have been unable to complete in time a driver for
toasting crumpets. If anyone comes across/writes such a driver - DO NOT
HASITATE IN CONTACTING ME or the Acorn User Office (extension ACON).

LICENSING AGREEMENTS -
        By de-archiving this program, you agree to these terms :
           1) You must not curse this toaster for burning bread.
           2) You must use the toaster at least once every purple moon.
These apply until you terminate the contract, by destroying all
copies of this toaster that you may have.
