Quantum/!!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.

File contents
I've also place within this copy of !Executor a 'PhoneDay' utility. It allows anyone to check and alter their phone numbers. See below. How to use ----------- You can use this 'PhoneDay' application in two ways. 1. With any program containing a writable icon which contains a phone number. For example a DataBase field, etc. 2. If you use Impression Style, Publisher or Plus by selecting the phone number line in a document. But first load the application !Executor onto the Iconbar. Method 1. ^^^^^^^^^ Place the caret within the writable icon field that contains the phone number and press the keyboard combination '<ALT> Q'. If the phone number needs changing then the current number in the field will be deleted and the new number inserted and a carriage return entered. If the number does not need changing then nothing will happen. Alternatively you can do an '<ALT> SELECT' press to start it if you prefer. Or... Instead of pressing a key, double click on !Phoneday1 to achieve the same end! Method 2. ^^^^^^^^^ Load your Impression document and look for any line of text containing the phone number. Triple click on the line so that the whole line is highlighted or if you prefer just highlight the whole phone number. Press <ALT> W and if the number requires changing then the new number will be instantly substituted! Or... Instead of pressing a key, double click on !Phoneday2 to achieve the same end! Finally... Resave your file once it has been altered. Keystroke owners could set it up to automatically go through their database fields, records, etc. updating their files quickly and without error.
