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.

"text_to_date" converts a text date of the form ;
dd Month yyyy into a date understood by PipeDream.
"expand_date" expands a date into textual format.
Expands a PipeDream format date to English text following
several guidelines as follows ;
"format_date", date, length of day text, "the" on/off, date
on/off, suffix (e.g. st for first) on/off, "of" on/off,
length of month text, length of year, separator (e.g. " ")
Iteratively finds the Greatest Common Denominator of two
numbers.
Expands a number slot to text from -999 to 999. If four
figures are specified, it assumes a date with +ve as a.d.
and -ve as b.c.
"position" returns the position of a certain slot in a list
of number slots, e.g. 26, 10, 23, 15= etc.
"std_mean" returns the number of standard deviations a
certain slot is from the mean of the list.
See Reference Manual for further details.
