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.

Help for !ModeUtil v0.11
This application is � Copyright '91 Jason Williams
This release is PUBLIC DOMAIN.
(Mode Util has been written to fix some of the shortcomings of the standard
palette utility. I intend to include palette management with RGB, HSV, CMYK,
and Rainbow colour choosers, but at present that functionality is a pipe
dream!)
Mode Util presently allows you to name your screen modes, and also includes
a MULTITASKING screen saver.
Named screen modes
==================
Now, you can ask for screen mode 'Multiscan.Large' rather than mode '82',
etc. This is far more user-friendly, saving you from remembering meaningless
mode numbers, and allowing you to only remember the names for the subset of
screen modes that YOU want to use.
After running Mode Util, click Menu on it's icon to select a new screen
mode from the default list. Each mode appears on the menu as either a single
name, or a group-name with an arrow to a list of mode names, e.g.:
16 colours
Multiscan � 16 colours
256 colours
This menu contains 3 screen mode names:
'16 colours' which would select something like mode 12 when clicked.
'Multiscan � 16 colours', which would select mode 20,
'Multiscan � 256 colours', which would select mode 21.
If the default list of modes is not to your liking, then you can enter your
own set of modes by doing the following:
Select the menu option 'Clear all', which wipes all mode names. (This is not
necessary if you only want to add a new mode to the current list!)
Click Select on the iconbar icon, and a window will appear with 3 white
writeable boxes, and three buttons, 'Set', 'Try Mode', and 'Clear'. You can
now:
* Enter the group name, mode name, and mode number for a mode, and click
'Set' to add that definition to the submenu.
Or, enter the mode name (in the left writeable box), delete all text in
the righthand writeable box, and enter the mode number, and click 'Set' to
add that definition to the MAIN menu.
* Enter the group+name or name of any defined mode, and click 'Clear' to
clear that entry.
* Click on 'Try Mode', to select the mode in the 'mode number' writeable
box, so you can see what the mode looks like.
The current setup will be saved when you quit from the application.
Note also that if you change mode with Mode Utils, the palette manager, or
if you click 'Set' or 'Cancel', then the window will change to display the
current mode number, and the definition if one exists.
If you have any modules (Such as Impression's !NewModes) that you wish to
use, you can copy them into the '!ModeUtil.AutoRun' directory, and ModeUtil
will automatically load them when it is run. That way, you can ensure that
any ModeUtil named screen modes are always available when ModeUtil is
running.
---
You can also edit the settings with !Edit by editing the text file
'!ModeUtil.Settings'. NOTE that the layout of this file must stay exactly as
it is now, i.e. One line per entry of the form:
<modenum> <modegroup>.<modename>
or
<modenum> <modename>
Note also that the <modenum> should be 1, 2, or 3 digits, followed by enough
spaces to move the first character of the <modegroup> bit to the 5th column
across. (i.e. when editing in System font in !Edit, all the text should line
up vertically)
MULTITASKING screen saver
=========================
If you leave your computer unattended for too long (i.e. the mouse stays in
the same place, and no keys are pressed for a while), ModeUtil will
automatically blank the screen to stop the picture from being permanently
'burnt-in' on the monitor screen. This is done by covering the entire screen
with a super-large black window (64000 pixels wide and high so it even works
with !Largeness).
To return to the desktop, simply click Select or Adjust, or hit a key on the
keyboard. To alter the configuration of the screensaver, click Menu. This
brings up a menu that allows you to set the time before the screensaver
blanks the screen (30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, or enter a number
followed by 's' (seconds), 'm' (minutes), or 'h' (hours) into the writeable
menu item at the bottom of that menu. Or you can turn off automatic screen
saving by selecting 'Off'.
The screen will also be saved if you move the mouse pointer into the very
top left corner of the screen. (If you have turned OFF the screen saver,
this is the only way you can get to turn it back on without quitting and
restarting the application)
So that you know that the screensaver is on, and it's not just that your
monitor has been turned off or has blown up (!), it prints the time
on-screen, moving it every second so that it also doesn't damage your
monitor!
While the saver window is up, every other application continues to run 'in
the background', so de-archiving, raytracing, picture conversion, modem
downloading, etc. will all continue unhindered in the background.
(Maybe those authors who have written a background-mode operation would like
to add a beep when the operation is finished?)
