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.

Dear All,

I thought it was time that I addressed these letters to you all rather
than to Gus alone as you all read them!!

Having read Dave Edward's letter and Gus's comments, I thought I should
add mine as I am responsible for the menu system which makes the discs
work, though I can't take the blame in any errors in their use or for any
missing files!!  I must apolggise for the failure of the perforation skip
routine and inconvenience this has caused.  This has now been corrected
and should be all right now though you may have to alter the values in the
'PRINT' program to suit your printer and paper used.

I am afraid I slipped up in the coding when I made up CODE6 from CODE5
which had worked correctly.  The lines 570 and 670 in CO7src show the
changes I have made.  The 'prt' routine needed to be JMPed into in 80
column mode and as a JSR for 40 column.  This is done by checking the
'modeflag' in line 670 in the assembler program CD7src.  This is in the
root Directory of the disc.

The 'Silly Games' did not work as the programs were all put in the same
directory.  The menu program 'SPECPRO' and 'SRACE-S' should be in DIR G
not DIR S with the other programs.  This easily done by using *RENAME - 

       Change Directory with *DIR G
       Rename files with -
                         *RENAME G.S.SPECPRO G.SPECPRO
                         *RENAME G.S.SRACE-S G.SRACE-S

       In GMENU delete the command to change directory in line  
       In SPECPRO lines 20000,20500,21000 and 21500 should all be *DIR S

The games should now work correctly though I am not sure that they will
all work on the Basic Elk.  Also there was one game missing, presumably
through lack of space on the disc?

As regards the 'horrible' menu, I know it is rather a simple one but with
very limited memory to play with - what can  I do??  With the Basic Elk
and ADFS, PAGE is at &1D00 and HIMEM is at &2600 to allow for loading the
text files, which is done to avoid flicker when printed to screen as
when a text file is loaded direct from the disc.  There is then only &900
bytes left for the menu and variables.  This rather limits any possibility
of change except for the use of MODE 1 to provide some colour.

I have just spent hours providing Gus with new memu scheme from an idea of
his to combine all menus in one.  This has been no easy task with the
above limitations and I thought that it was impossible!!  I then found
that I could do it by transferring the text print routines to the 'PRINT'
program and making the two programs work together.  This was no mean task
as I had to think how to transfer the variables between the programs.  I
had also to alter ADFS version for DFS both with and without the dual
catalogues.  I hope that this is now up running well as it should make his
task of making up the discs much easier.

In the meantime, I may have some possible ideas  for improving the menus,
if I can for the future.

I havere-written the first paragraph and the notes of my 'Info' section
to emphasise the importance of spaces and blank lines and in particular
the avoidance of long strings of characters.  For this reason, Internet
and e-mail addresses should each be on separate lines.  This is important
for correct working of the 40 column print routine.  I have found several
files which losk up in this mode due to lack of spaces.  I suggest you all
re-read my info and, if followed, sould improve the appearance of the mag
and make it more readable.

Regards to you all,

Richard

I can only speak as one member but I rather like the menu as it appears.
It's simple, clear and easy to use. But others may have their own
opinions. 

If you do come up with some radically new ideas we can all try it out.
Might be interesting for someone else to get some flack sometimes.

The 'Silly Games' I found on a disc. The author said that they could be
freely copied and asked for donations to be sent. I copied that as I found
them the missing game was missing from the disc.
