!AWMar93/Goodies/ResMod/!ResMod/!Help
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.

!ResourceFS Modifier
� Joseph Walker
How to add files to the ROM Apps directory.
There are two ways to add files using this program:
A. Using Virtual Applications:
1. Drag an application to the window.
2. Drag the Module icon to a disk window to save.
3. Double click on the new module (on the disk).
This method installs a small virtual application into the ROM apps
directory. This application mearly points to the original. This
means that it is very small (around 350 bytes), but that it needs
the original to run.
B. Using Real Files:
1. Drag a directory containing the files to be added to the window.
2. Drag the Module icon to a disk window to save.
3. Double-Click on the new module (on the disk).
This method installs copies of the files into ResourceFS.
This means- Potentially a lot of wasted memory, but the files will
load almost instantly, and don't need any originals.
NB: the files will be added into the root of ResourceFS, to put
your files into the fonts directory (for example) then create
a directory called fonts inside the directory that you drag to
!ResMod.
If this sounds complex then have a play. It will all come clear.
Some points to remember:
� Maximun file sizes: If you drag a directory to the window then it may
contain as many files or directories as you like, as long as the total
size of the directory is not more than 490k.
If you drag an application, then since the original files are not used,
there is no limit to the maximum file size.
� Internal Name: (default: ResourceFSExtra) This is the name that will
appear in the module list (obtained by typing *modules at the command
line). If you wish to remove the additions to ResourceFS then type
*RMKill ResourceFSExtra
(Obviously if you have changed the default name the the same name should
appear after the RMKill).
NB: *RMKill Res. will succeed only in killing the real ROM files and
hanging the entire directory structure.
� 1MByte Machines: !ResMod should work okay on 1MByte machines. I tested it
on a 4MByte machine using a 3MByte RAM disk so it should be okay. If you are
having trouble then try:
Setting the Font Cache, System Sprites, and Module Area to small values.
Running in Mode 0
Running !ResMod before any other programs
If you are still having trouble then you can try changing:
!RunImage, line 80 to:
MaxModSize% =400
And !Run, line 5 to:
WimpSlot -min 422k -max 422k
Or similar. The value of MaxModSize% is the number of K reserved for
the module. The Wimpslot value must be at least 22k bigger than this.
These alterations can also be used to create very large Modules.
� Virtual Applications: The amount of memory taken up by an application
may be reduced to practically zero by creating a virtual application, and
including that in the module instead of the real thing. This is done
automatically by dragging an app instead of a directory to the window.
They can also be created simply by creating a new directory in some spare
space (not in the same place as the real application) called the same name
as the real application. Then shift-double click this directory to open it.
Load !Edit and create two new obey files. In the first include a line
similar to the following:
Filer_Run ADFS::IDEDisc4.$.Impression.!Impress
Obviously you should substitute the path name of the real application
instead of the Impression example above. This should then be saved under
the name '!Run' in the virtual application window.
The second obey file should include a line similar to the following:
Filer_Boot ADFS::IDEDisc4.$.Impression.!Impress
and should be save in the same place as '!Boot'.
This new application always points at the original.
Other Points for the technically minded
� I have included 2 template files: 'Templates0' contains a 3D-interface type
set-up rename the original to Template1 and this to Templates and remove the
| from the !Run file. 00000000 0a 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 |. | 00000010 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 21 52 65 73 6f 75 72 63 | !Resourc| 00000020 65 46 53 20 4d 6f 64 69 66 69 65 72 0a 20 20 20 |eFS Modifier. | 00000030 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 | | 00000040 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 a9 20 4a 6f 73 65 70 68 20 | .
