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.

ADD (ADDRESS BOOK PROGRAM)
By Gus Donnachaidh
I FOUND a program in a book called PRACTICAL PROGRAMS FOR THE ELECTRON
by Owen Bishop and Audrey Bishop, published by Granada Publishing in
1984 for a simple database program. It was called INFO FILE. If you have
a copy, you might want to compare the original with my version.
I liked it because of an interesting search facility which will
quickly search for single letter strings as well as multiple letter
strings. I have named it PROCsearch. It is used in conjunction with
PROCdisplay. It might be useful in another program.
I didn't like it because of the primative program structure. Lots of
GOTOs, hardly any use of PROCedures and some superfluous bits.
I have made a number of major and minor changes to this program to
make it work the way I wanted it to. Anyone else who thinks the same way
as I do might like to try other adaptations. Extending the number of
records should be fairly straightforward; simply a matter of identifying
the relevant DIM statements. I think one or two which remain may be
redundant.
I did consider leaving in the original lines, hiding them with REM
statements. However this took up a lot of memory and in any case most of
these were pointless.
The original program included a portion to create a data file which
was then loaded when the program was re-run. This was because the prog-
ram was originally written to use with tape. I started by removing this
create routine and making it a separate program called CREATE. As it
only needs to be used occasionally, it was just wasting space and speed.
I removed most of the GOTOs, replacing these with logical jumps. I
had to leave 2 in PROCinput, one was the loop controling this PROC and I
didn't see any real need to change it. The other controls the delete
function. More about this in a moment. There are numerous other line
jumps, of the variety, IF ... THEN 550. I removed a number of these but
many remain.
I added a GOTO to PROCdisplay to allow for a printout of a record to
be made.
I reorganised the various menus and submenus and made the input
routine work a little easier.
I have kept the line numbers, as far as possible, the same as the
original.
The <DELETE> key will place a | character on the screen. This in-
dicates that all the text in this field has been deleted. You can either
re-type it or use the cursor and <COPY> keys to copy what you want. I
tried removing this line, 1200, so that the <DELETE> key worked as
normal in the input routine and the program seemed to work fairly well.
However, the deleted characters were still in the saved data file. There
were also a few other unpredictable results, mainly concerned with the
amount of characters available in the field.
Each field can have a maximum of 80 characters, 2 lines of text in
Mode 6. There can be up to 4 fields.
I have added a facility to put carriage returns into a field so that
an address will look ok. To use it, you type *. The * won't appear on
the screen, instead a carriage return will be effected.
I have created an address book with two fields per record having an
80 character capacity. One field could be used for an address, while the
other could be used for any comments which might be relevant.
If you create another data file using CREATE, remember not to save it
with the name ADDRESS or ADD.
To run another file, load ADD and LIST line 340. Change the name
ADDRESS to the name of your file.
I have identified many of the variables. Unfortunately, between doing
most of this work and writing this info file, I have lost the bit of
paper on which I wrote them down. Ahhh!
The ones I remember are these:
N$ - Name of data file
A$ - Input variable
L - Record number
J - Field number
N-1 - Field number
N$(J) - Name of field
LEN(E$) - Total number of characters entered in a field.
NC(J) - Number of characters allocated to a field.
This program may be useful to store small amounts of information, then
have a search facility available to look for it. It may also be used as
a template to develop something which may be more specialised and
potentially useful.
