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.

3D Construction Kit - Archimedes Demo Version
There are two programs attached to this readme file: The 3D Construction Kit Demo and a game created using this product.
Both are public domain and supplied to subscribers to The Micro User, Januaryissue 1992 courtesy of New Dimension and Domark.
The full program is not PD, but a full and commercial piece of software. Although any programs which you write with this kit can be put into the PD should you so wish.

If the program fails to load on 1 Meg machines then UNPLUG any non standard
modules and configure the fontsize, systemsize and ramfssize to 0 to free
some extra memory (this can be done using the TASK DISPLAY option from the
task menu). You will need to reset the machine for the configuration to
become current.
