!AWDec93/Goodies/RiscOS/DeskApps/!DummyApp/!Help
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.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Program : !DummyApp
Purpose : Illustrates how to write a non-wimp but desktop application
using the pipe filing system for out put.
Usage : To run double-click on a file of type "dummy"
All that happens is that a textfile is created containing
the pathname of the file (of appropriate type)
which was double clicked
This is a way of outputting information to the built-in
editors.
