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.

<H2>Country-wide search underway to find Britain's top computing students
to compete in international competition</H2>
</CENTER>
<H3>Summary</H3>
Over 500 schools have been targeted by the organisers of the 1996 British
Informatics Olympiad (BIO), the national competition in computing, to find
the brightest young programmers to represent Britain in this year's
prestigious International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI).
<p>
BIO'96 is sponsored by Data Connection, one of the UK's most successful
software engineering companies. Hopes are high that the team will improve
on last year's success and win four gold medals when they compete against
over 45 countries at the IOI in Hungary at the end of July.
<p>
All students under 19 years of age and in full-time education are invited
to enter the BIO. During the first round they will be faced with three
problems to be solved using a computer. For the top 15, this is followed
by a challenging final in Cambridge over Easter, at which the four team
members will be selected.
<p>
To enter the competition, schools should see the

<H3>Background</H3>
The British Informatics Olympiad was founded in March 1995 with the
following aims:
<UL>
<LI>To encourage school pupils to take an interest in computer programming.
<LI>To select a team to represent Britain at the International Olympiad in
Informatics (IOI).

<H3>Organisers</H3>
Antony Rix (Chairman) is a final year student of Electrical and
Information Science at Cambridge University, where he is based
at Christ's College and is specialising in signal processing.
He was a member of the British team at the 1991 IOI in Athens,
and was re-selected for the 1992 IOI in Bonn, where he won a
bronze medal. He also won a silver medal and the Encyclopaedia
Britannica prize at the 1992 International Physics Olympiad.
<p>
Richard Forster (Secretary) also won a bronze medal in Bonn, and
is currently at Trinity College, Oxford, researching theoretical
computer security. In a team together with two other former IOI
participants, Richard and Antony have twice won the British
Computer Society's programming competition, defeating teams of
professional programmers as well as other students.
<p>
<H3>Sponsors</H3>
BIO'96 is sponsored by Data Connection, the Enfield-based software
engineering company. Founded in 1981, Data Connection now has 150
employees. The company's outstanding success has been driven by a
total commitment to quality and a high level of business generated
overseas.
<p>
Data Connection recruit world-class graduates, and also offer
pre-university work and university vacation work to exceptional
students. Those who demonstrate outstanding ability may be offered
university sponsorship. For more information on this, contact Justine
McLennan on 0181 366 1177 or see the recruitment information on DC's
<A HREF="http://www.datcon.co.uk/">Home Page</A>.
<p>
BIO'95 was supported by Christ's College and the Department of Applied
Maths and Theoretical Physics, Cambridge, and sponsored by BT, Brother
and the Department for Education.
<p>
27 schools took part in the first
round. Students took a 4-hour exam, answering a programming problem on
encoding and decoding text, and a written question on magic squares. The
best 15 of them were invited to Cambridge for the final, where they
tackled very difficult problems on parallel computing, language recognition
and a numbers game.
<p>
A team of four students, selected in the final,
spent a week in the Netherlands at the end of June 1995, at the seventh
International Olympiad in Informatics. They went on cultural visits,
and took part in a science fair in which two world records were broken.
The team-members' performance, competing against over 200 students from
45 different countries, was exceptionally good: in particular, Patrick
Smears, a sixth former from King Edward VI School, Southampton, came
second in the world and won a gold medal, a CD-I multimedia system and
a laser printer.
