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.

Password ======== Purpose..... Edit MenuBar's passwords Author...... (c) Graham Crow Version..... 1.00 Date........ 3 April 1996 Note: Password requires RISC OS 3.1 or greater. Introduction ------------ From version 2.00 MenuBar provides up to 30 separate menu bars. Each of these may be password-protected so that only bona fide users can access the contents. The main purpose of this is to allow schools to assign a whole menu bar to each pupil in a class so that they may organise their projects to suit themselves. If students are given their own password then their data should be mischief-proof. Password is written as a separate application so that the teacher may keep it in a private area and thus have control over the allocation and sevicing of passwords. Password in Use --------------- Run Password in the usual way by double-clicking on !Password. It installs on the icon bar, and the window opens. To activate Password you need to drag a MenuBar Data directory onto the window or icon bar icon. The directory is found in the !MenuBar application directory by opening the directory 'User'. Dragging '...Data' onto Password causes the filename to appear at the top of the window and, below that, the menu bar names together with existing passwords (if any). Any passwords which are active have a tick to the right. In the column headed 'Passwords' you can enter the password for any named menu bar. Passwords may be up to 10 characters, and are case-sensitive. Spaces are not allowed. Clicking on the option button makes a password active (provided a password has been entered). When you are satisfied, click Save to write the passwords to the data files. Alternatively, click Cancel to dispay the previous settings. Clicking Cancel with the adjust button keeps the window open.
