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.

l �zDz���� " � c� You should see a blank icon appear on the icon bar and clicking <MENU> l
t ȧ�z��g��� " � c� over this will bring up the usual icon bar menu including the items �Info� and t
p p{GB��'q�� " � c� �Quit�. �Info� leads to the normal �About This Program� window (the icons p
p �^
���8�� " c� of which are blank at the moment) and �Quit� which stops the application p -` Rx���� �� " aZ and removes it from the icon bar - don�t quit it just yet.
