StarInfo/SpencerB/ReadMe
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.

Freedom
-------
1 MB (and, to some extent 2MB) machine owners will appreciate the problems
that memory shortages cause. This module provides a *Command, *FreeMe, that
will free as much memory as possible from the dynamic areas.
The areas are : System heap / supervisor stack
RMA
Screen memory
System sprites area
Font cache
RAM disc
