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.

File contents
alarm /time=<time> [/repeat] [/id=<id>] <action> sets an alarm either for time-of-day or elapsed time. <time> is specified as: HH:MM:SS time of day +HH:MM:SS elapsed time The /repeat qualifier will resubmit the same alarm setting after it goes off. The /id qualifier associates a name with an alarm, so it can be cancelled. alarm /cancel=<id> Cancels a timed alarm. (to cancel a non-timed alarm such as /stop or /dcd, set the alarm with a null command - eg, 'alarm/stop'). alarm /stop=<command> Specifies a command to be executed when the "Stop" button is clicked. If no stop alarm is defined, the serial device is released and the script pauses. This alarm cancels itself when it goes off. alarm /dcd[=0|1] <command> alarm /cts[=0|1] <command> alarm /dtr[=0|1] <command> alarm /rng[=0|1] <command> alarm /dsr[=0|1] <command> Specifies command to execute when the specified line becomes low (or high). This alarm cancels itself when it goes off. Use the '=1' value specification to trigger on low->high, otherwise, triggers on high->low. alarm/error=<command> defines command to execute when a script error occurs. alarm/icon=<id> <command> defines command to execute when a file is dropped onto icon with identifier <id>. The name of the file dropped is put into the variable $file, and its filetype (in hex) into $type.
