Speller/IntroB
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.

MENU This offers a range of support options which are self explanatory such as deleting words, adding words, listing the dictionary etc. Some options will ask for extra information. e.g the "list word" asks for the word to search for, you need only enter the first few letters of the word to be given a list of all words that correspond to your letters. For this option you will also need to specify the number of words per line and the length of each line. This is to allow output to be tabulated for the printer. When output is going to the screen I normally use three words at 39 character per line. You are able to direct output to the printer and a spool file as well as the screen. Many of the menu options will ask you to specify whether you wish to search the main dictionary (C.DICTION) or the new words file (C.NEWORDS). This selection is made by pressing N or D after the prompt. When running the menu pressing ESCAPE will give you the option to return to the menu or exit from the program. Since, when exiting from any of the Watcher programs, Watcher simulates a Break key pressing, you may find your machine in cassette mode after exiting from Watcher. This is because by the time you have removed your finger from the Q key, not only has Watcher noted it but so has the operating system which thinks you want to go into cassette mode. To rectify this simply press Break. Occasionally when Watcher saves the new words file at the end of a session there may not be a big enough disc space. As a result only part of the file may be placed on disc. Using the "Repair Newords file" option Watcher will repair the new words file so that those words that are saved to disc can be merged with the main dictionary. Another option on the menu is the "Remove word". This may operate on either the new words file or the main dictionary. When deleting a word from the new words file the word is simply marked as deleted and from then on ignored by SORT (when merging), WATCH (when running) and Menu when searching for words with either the list or search options. When deleting a word from the dictionary the program will remove the word completely, this involves copying the contents of the dictionary to a new file (C.NEWTION) leaving the word to be removed behind. The old dictionary is then removed and the new dictionary renamed. This process takes a few minutes depending on the size of the dictionary. SORT The Sort program can be run as an option from the menu, at the end of Watch or called with *SORT. While sorting, two new files are created, C.NEW2 and C.NEWTION although both of these are removed before the sort finished. This program should always be run at the end of a session to merge the new words and dictionary into one new dictionary to improve access times. Before running SORT it is advisable to check that a big enough space exists on the disc for a new file approximately the length of the dictionary and new words files. For this reason I would advise that when a big dictionary has been built up, a separate disc is used just to hold the dictionary, new word, Sort, Menu and Watch files. The best way to do this is to place the three programs on the disc first so that they use up the first few tracks of the disc and leave the rest of the disc free for the dictionary, new word file and files produced by Sort or menu. When merging the new words file and dictionary any word in the new words file that has been marked as deleted will be ignored by Sort. The word therefore won't be placed in the new dictionary. C.DICTION This is the main Watcher dictionary. It is initialised by SETUP. When first created Diction only has 26 words, one for each letter of the alphabet. The dictionary can be expanded up to half the capacity of the disc. This is to allow for merging the new words file and creating the new dictionary.
