AlpsNews
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.

ALPS Support Disc
=================
This new disc adds impressive compression
facilities to the ALPS range on the Archimedes. It
caters for compression of both text and graphics.
Typically the text compressor can reduce your text
to between 55 and 60% of its original size.
The sprite compactor is even more impressive -
depending on the original picture, it can reduce
mode 15 sprites to under 20% of their original
size!
Available NOW - please phone or write for details.
