Versn0_94/New
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.

File contents
New Features and Bug Report for version 0.94:- * Windows contain outline fonts * Sound module played on startup * Status window, showing how far you are into the story. A bit wrong at the beginning * Drags whole window when clicked on redundant icon Bugs Remaining:- Not confident about template loading routines. Sometimes errors can occur when loading - Program fails to load. Once loaded the software is stable. Some work has been done, best results so far indicate a fault with RiscOS memory handling SWIs. ***** Seem's to work fine now, haven't had any problems lately! ****** Input focus goes wrong after the original window containing focus has closed. When application run from exsisting file, status window isn't exact and can exceed 100%! + Icons don't correspond to correct actions (Play + Stop selected)
