Nuke/ReadMe
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.

File contents
Extracting the application -------------------------- The application !Nuke is contained in the inner archive nuke-i/zip in this directory. This reason for this hierarchical structure is explained below in the section 'Authentication'. WARNING!!! ---------- Careless use of !Nuke may result in permanent loss of your data. Read the !Help file inside the inner archive before attempting to use this software. Distribution site ----------------- The primary distribution site for this software is http://web.bham.ac.uk/N.M.Queen/pgp/acorn.html and copies obtained from any other source should be considered valid only if the archive is byte-identical to the one obtained from that site. Authentication -------------- If you are confident that you have obtained a valid copy of this software, you may ignore this section. Assuming that you know how to use PGP, you can use it to check that your copy of the inner archive has not been corrupted or altered in any way. For this purpose, detached signatures of the author, Tony Hopstaken, and of the owner of the distribution site, Nat Queen, are included in this directory as the files sigH/asc and sigQ/asc. If either of these signatures does not validate the archive, you should assume that your copy is corrupt. The appropriate public keys must be on your keyring in order to check the signatures. These public keys can be downloaded from the distribution site or from the PGP key servers. For details on checking detached signatures, consult the PGP documents. PGP can be obtained from the URL given above.
