GRABINF

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.

GRABBER, Version 1.1

by J R Crellin

DFS or ADFS, BASIC 1 or higher, ATS
ROM essential

Purpose

To search for a list of up to 30 pages
finding all subpages for subsequent
browsing, printing and/or saving. 
Pages are searched for concurrently;
GRABBER sets up as many page records
as it can (the actual number will vary
from with the model etc of computer).  

Using GRABBER

Enter the television channel when
prompted.  GRABBER will then present a
sequence of index pages (easily
altered by changing data statements at
the end of the program).  Enter any
page numbers you want "grabbed" and
enter 0 or press return alone when you
want to go onto the next index page. 
Enter #number to see a page straight
away; you may then enter page numbers
for saving and carry on as normal. 
Enter #RETURN for an update on the
current index page.

When all index pages have been shown
GRABBER will start to look for the
pages and will present the first one
when ready.  Use the arrow keys (or
SPACEBAR and B) to move through the
saved pages.  Press R for reveal, S to
save a screen image, TAB to print a
screen image, RETURN to print text
only.  The program assumes the
presence of MYROM but is easily
changed to use other printer dump ROMs
or routines.  (See REMs near the end
of the program.)
