Documents/Clashes

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.

ArcFS 0.50/2.00 Documentation
-----------------------------

Using ArcFS with some games
---------------------------

Twin World and possibly other games will not work from ArcFS if the 'Display
hourglass' option is in use. This is because the hourglass interferes with
interrupt routines used by Twin World. In order to cure the problem, switch
off the 'Display hourglass' option.
