3Dupgrade/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
With the exception of !T1ToFont, the remaining applications supplied on the
two RISC OS 3 Application Upgrade Discs will switch between 2D and 3D
templates depending on the setting of the Acorn allocated CMOS bit. By
running '2D' or '3D' as appropriate, and resetting your machine afterwards,
you can choose which templates the applications will use.

For !T1ToFont, it is necessary to copy the !T1ToFont directory contained in
this directory *over* your existing copy of the application. This will cause
the 2D template file to be replaced with the 3D template file.
