!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.

File contents
WinEd is a shareware template editor. Please see the documentation for
conditions of use.
Important: If you are upgrading from version 2.20 or earlier, delete the
WinEdReg application. Registration is now handled from WinEd's banner.
From version 2.52 Choices are stored in a Risc PC's boot structure in
preference to WinEd's own directory.
A couple of important new features were introduced in version 2.45:
There is an option (off by default) to allow selections to be moved with
the cursor keys without holding the mouse button.
It now uses dynamic areas on a Risc PC. The maximum size is set in the
!Run file and can be edited if necessary. Virtualise is not specifically
supported; templates aren't usually that big! The main aim of dynamic
areas in WinEd is to prevent memory used for editing files from imposing a
limit on general workspace, whose requirements can not be accurately
predicted.
Documentation is provided in two forms: a plain text !Help file within the
!WinEd directory, and a file ("Manual") suitable for Impression Style or
Publisher. The latter contains the same text as the help file, but nicely
formatted; it is set up to print two A5 pages per A4 page.
In future the manuals will not be updated with every single bug fix,
only when there is a significant change in functionality. The History
file should be adequate for pointing out any minor changes.
Note about keyboard short cuts:
The short cut for Delete is ^K. ^X, Delete and <-| (Backspace) are no longer
supported; they are reserved for applications that use Cut & Paste. The short
cut for Work area... (open Edit work area dialogue) was originally ^K, so
has had to be changed to ^O.
I haven't bothered to document keyboard short cuts, no one would learn them
all by heart from reading, you just gradually pick them up from the menus.
Note about BorderUtils & NewLook:
BorderUtils is a module to fix a bug in RISC OS 3.1. WinEd, like any
application with 3D slabbing icons, needs it. It comes with NewLook and as a
stand-alone from good PD libraries. WinEd was also designed with sprites from
NewLook in mind, some of the old ones look awful now.
