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.

VidiEditor (Software and documentation by T. E. Kennington.)
V1.2 (C) T. E. Kennington 1987 1 Jan 1987
1 INTRODUCTION
VidiEditor is a stand alone teletext editor and carousel
display system. It is designed to run on the BBC model B
microcomputer under OS1.2 and DFS or with a Master series
computer with any filing system. It cannot be used with
second processors. Nor, unfortunately, will it run on a
standard BBC B with ADFS as there is insufficient memory.
It is capable of storing upto 20 pages in memory (one
magazine) using easy to use commands and of displaying them
sequencially with a choice of two display times which may be
set within the range 1 to 99 seconds. Links can be added to
magazines to enable a "daisy chain" of magazines to be
displayed.
A magazine consists of 20 1kbyte pages and so a
maximum of 4 magazines may be stored on one 100kbyte
disc. In theory five magazines should be the maximum (5
x 20 = 100) but 2 sectors of the disc are reserved for the
catalogue thus there is not quite sufficient room for 5 20kB
magazines. An 800k system can provide room for 36 magazines
which is 720 pages. (Maximum.)
2 Getting started
Insert the VidiEditor disc in drive 0 and type "*VIDIED".
The screen should then be displaying the title
"VidiEditor" with a list of commands. The message "READY"
appears and command mode is entered. If no title page
appears and "<Not found" shows at the bottom of the screen,
then the file "F_T" is not present on the disc. It will not
affect the operation of VidiEd in any way if it is missing.
The following commands are understood:
CAROUSEL CLEAR CLM DISPLAY ERASE HELP
INSERT LINK LOAD MAGAZINE OVERLAY REPLACE
SAVE TIDY TIME X *<OS command> :<title>
And on the ROM version : PRINT
To enter the editor, press the cursor UP key. The screen
will still be showing the header and the cursor will have
moved up one line. Its position is shown at all times, in
decimal, by the V-H indicator on the command line.
The command line will also be
showing "edit-normal < > &nn Vnn Hnn". The
character shown between the angle brackets '< >' is the
character under the cursor and its ASCII number, in hex,
is shown after '&'. This is for use in identifying control
codes and graphic characters. The top row of the screen
is used for the page name which should be typed after
the colon.(:) Anything typed on the keyboard appears on
screen. The arrowed editing keys may be used to place
the cursor in any desired position. In older versions the
DELETE key produced the "blob" character. The current
version deletes the character in front of the cursor. The
"blob" is produced with SHIFT+DELETE.
The screen will need to be "saved" to enable it to be
recalled. The command - INSERT will place a copy of the
screen in memory. Before this, however, it must have
been given a 'name' to identify it. This should be typed on
the top row, after the colon. Pressing ESCAPE now will
return to command mode. It is also possible to 'name' the
page at this point by typing the name after the command
INSERT. e.g. INSERT TEST, will add TEST to the top row.
The message "Action successful" will have appeared. Typing
MAG will show the magazine title and the index, which
will now include the page you have just inserted. To recall
the page, simply type DISPLAY <name> which in the present
case will be TEST. e.g. DISPLAY TEST [RETURN].
At this point, it may be worth mentioning that all but
one of the commands may be shortened to its first letter.
The exception is CLEAR which must be typed in full.
Also, the name may consist of only as many characters as
necessary to uniquely identify the page. Taking our example
above, to display, the minimum command could be - D T .
Commands may be written in upper or lower case, VidiEditor
treats them the same.
It will be necessary to save the pages you have created
permanently on disc. This is done by saving the entire
magazine under a 'title'. For instance, if we call our
magazine "EXAMPLE" then typing:
SAVE EXAMPLE [RET]
will put it on the disc as a file called EXAMPLE. In the
disc catalogue it will appear as D.EXAMPLE because all
VidiEditor magazines are put in directory D. (DFS only.
See Disc User Guide for details of directories). At
some future time, the magazine EXAMPLE may be recalled
by, first putting the disc containing the magazine in the
disc drive, then typing:
LOAD EXAMPLE [RET]
Typing MAG next will show the contents of the magazine just
loaded. Having now loaded the magazine, it is possible to
display them in rotation in a CAROUSEL. By typing CAROUSEL
on the command line, the command line will disappear and a
"header row" appears on the top line. Unless the date and
time have been set previously, there will be a blank space
followed by the wrong time. These can both be set using the
TIME command. Two display speeds are available and these may
be set to anything between 1 and 99 seconds. See CAROUSEL
for more details. You should now be able to "drive"
VidiEditor in a limited form.
The following section deals with each command in turn.
