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.

Overview of task '!Constant'
----------------------------
'Constant' is a handy reference program for physical constants. It has 157 constants, in various categories. It also tells you
the units of each constant in SI and CGS, and the constant's symbol. A menu system, a search feature and an index window are
included to minimise the hassle of finding the right entry.
The Bar Icon
------------
When you load the program its icon will appear as usual on the icon bar. Clicking the left button brings up the main window and
clicking the right button brings up both the main window and the index window. The middle button brings up the Bar Menu from
which you can either
i. show info about the program,
ii. display the main window,
iii. display this help file,
iv. quit the program.
The Main Window
---------------
This is where all the information comes out.
The heading - tells you the name of the constant you are seeing the information about.
The symbol - is how this constant is abbreviated, for example in equations. (see below!)
The value - is what you are looking for (presumably)
The units - first is the accepted SI (systeme internationale) unit, and second is the CGS (centimetre-gramme-second) unit.
What we normally use is MKS (metre-kilogramme-second) units, and these are usually the same as SI units, but
certain sciences (like astrophysics) use CGS for some reason. It's usually just a matter of multiplying by a
few factors of 10, but sometime there's a completely different unit!
The arrows - allow you to flip backwards or forwards through the 157 constants.
The Main Menu
-------------
Pressing the middle button over the Main Window brings up the main menu. From here you can do the following things...
i. select a category to jump to; Fundamental, Length, Area, Volume, Mass, Time, Velocity, Acceleration, Force, Pressure,
Temperature, Angle, Energy, Electromagnetic or Subatomic; Electrons, Protons, Neutrons, Deueterons or Muons,
ii. enter a string which the program will search the heading field for, eg. 'light' will find 'speed of light',
iii. bring up the index window.
The Index Window
----------------
This is a quick way of finding the constant you want. Just scan down the list and double-click on whichever one you like.
The Main Window will then appear with the right information in it.
Symbols - *IMPORTANT*
---------------------
In the application directory there are 2 text files, 'Constants' and 'Constant2' which hold the data for the constants. They
are almost identical, but not quite... 'Constants' is the default file, and it tells you the symbols exactly how you would read
them, eg. '�0' is mu-zero, that is, � with a subscript zero. The other file lists the symbols with a '-s-' meaning subscript, eg.'�-s-0' reads mu-zero as before. You can change the files over by renaming them. The file used must be called 'Constants'. It's
up to you. Personally I prefer the default file - it's less confusing.
