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.

Program : !QuicKey
Author : Kevin J Swinton
Purpose : Fast BASIC keyword input
QuicKey is a desktop application that allows the quick entering of the most
common BBC BASIC keywords. When the application is loaded, a combination of the
right-hand CTRL key ("Action" key) and a letter shown below will force immediate
input of the designated keyword.
Other keywords can be produced by combinations of keys. For instance, E and C
will produce END and COLOUR separately, but if the C is pressed immediately after
the E, the resultant input becomes ENDCASE.
The software revolves around a small module called QuicKey. Some users may wish to
dispense with the desktop application, and just load the module when required. The
actual interrupt software is started when the module is loaded, and is stopped when
the module is killed.
