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.

Notes on using FormEd, 16-May-89 FormEd is an editor of Template files. To understand this you need to understand the program interface of the Window System, as described in the Programmer's Reference Manual. The description here assumes an understanding of template files. FormEd is started by double-clicking on a template file after the FormEd icon has been "seen". This will cause FormEd to be loaded, and to display all of the windows in the template file. Alternatively, double-click on FormEd itself and it will be loaded with no current windows. If a template file does not appear to load properly, give more memory to FormEd before it starts using the Task Manager window. A template file is often constructed with reference to a specific set of sprites. A sprite file can be dragged onto the FormEd icon on the icon bar to set the available sprites. These are displayed in a window. Some previous versions of FormEd used to provide facilities for editing sprites, these are now provided only in the Paint application. Clicking on the FormEd icon creates a new window in the current template file, and displays it on the screen. The menu provided from the icon on the icon bar provides the following functions: Create window - similar to clicking on the FormEd icon, except that a name may be specified for the template. Load templates - allows you to type in the filename of a template file to be loaded, instead of dragging an icon from the Filer. Save templates - a save box for the templates being edited. Quit - quit FormEd. Beware that this has no "confirm" option, so any edits will be discarded instantly if you choose this menu entry. The template windows displayed by FormEd mirror precisely the size, position and properties of the windows in the Template file. The following actions directly affect the stored values: Close the window - deletes it from the template file. Move/scroll/resize the window - moves the default setup of the window in the template file. Clicking MENU on a template window produces a menu tree that allows a wide variety of alterations to the menu structure, based on the various control fields of a window structure as described in the Wimp documentation. It also allows you to create icons in the window. An icon, once created, can be moved and resized using drag-SELECT and drag-ADJUST. It can also have its properties adjusted by pointing at it and then clicking MENU, and following the "amend icon" submenu. The best way to experiment is to examine and update the template files belonging to the Applications Suite (saving the original first!). It's also possible to update the template files used by ROM utilities. These reside in the deskfs: filing system in the ROM. They are accessed via the environment variable Wimp$Path, so by updating this to search a directory of your own first where your updated template files reside, you can replace the window templates used by the utilities in the ROM. Your ability to drag and resize icons may be affected by a button type affixed to an icon: only those button types which generate the appropriate Wimp events can be dragged and resized directly. It's interesting to note that FormEd keeps no data structures describing each template window, relying on the Wimp to keep and manipulate each structure. FormEd keeps a file of sprites in memory which can be used in icons in the template being edited. The default sprite file used is the file Default inside !FormEd, which is in fact a copy of the sprites found in the RISC OS ROM. To load in a separate sprite file to use with your template file, drag the sprite file onto the FormEd icon.
