DesktopPD/WimpBar2/!WimpBar2/Macros/Time
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.

Echo The time is <Sys$Time>. Echo Echo Why didn't you just look at the time/memory icon? Echo Echo As you've probably worked out, macros are meant to be Echo just slightly more useful than this. For an example, Echo look at the AddSprite macro. This is intended to be Echo used as an alternative to *IconSprites. It can be Echo used when you drag a sprite file to the toolbar. Echo (See manual for details)
