Letter

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.

Dear Gus,
       I have sent in a number of contributions for the disc, though there
may be too much for one issue. The most interesting (in my opinion) is a
program to turn pictures into apparently meaningless patterns of dots
called autostereograms. I have also adapted the Electon User's Banner
printing program (June 1989) to print large messages on the screen, and
have made some improvements to the Diagram screen dump from EUG16. These
programs are described in seperate articles

       In EUG9 Christopher Chadwick sent in a conversion of "Mornington
Crescent", to run in Mode 1 on a 64k Electron. This is a game based on
the London Underground, which was originally published in the Micro User.
I have at last managed to compress this enough to run on a 32k Electron
(still in MODE 1, apart from the instructions, which are deleted from
memory after they have been read). All of the station names and numerical
data are now stored directly in memory, and retrieved using a machine code
routine (instead of using BASIC array variables). The game is, however,
extremely sluggish, and passing through King's Cross could mean a very
long wait for your next move! The memory is also very tight, so if you
want to improve the program, you will probably have to shorten a message,
or remove an unnecessary routine somewhere.

       Anyone who continued their Micro User subscription long enough to
see the change of name to "Acorn Computing" might have noticed that 
"Pixel Mapper", a program published for the BBC Micro in October/November
1992 did not work on the Electron. This was a shame, as it was actually a
very clever program to distort pictures into virtually any shape you
wanted. I eventually found the problems, and will now give instructions to
make the program work:
         (1) Load the program "Shaper", and change line 360 to:
              360 IF INKEY-40 PROCsave
             then re-save the program. This enables you to press 0 instead
             of f0 to save your shape file.
         (2) Load the program "PixMap", and add the following line:  
              385VDU23,1,0;0;0;0;
             This prevents the flashing cursor from corrupting your
             picture.
         (3) Load the source code "X.PMSrc", and change line 120 to:
              120 Srcl=&C36D:Scrh=&C36E
             Run the program, and a new version of the file "mapcode" will
             be saved.
         (4) Run the program as described in the magazine.
       If some members do not already have an original copy of the
program, and would like one, then I could send in a complete working
version for the disc. However, I am not sure whether the Copyright laws
would permit this (though some Copyright Electron User programs have been
published in EUG in the past).         

       Have any members come across a disassembler which is capable of
re-generating source code, in the form of a BASIC program, from machine
code? This would be very useful, as it can be difficult to insert commands
into a program using a conventional disassembler. I have considered
writing one myself, but memory constraints, and the problem of adding
labels into the program, made this rather complicated (though not
impossible - I have a complete flow-chart version). I would be interested
to hear from anyone who has found or tried to write such a program.

                                                Matthew Ford
