Help/Verify
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
** VERIFY ** The disc formatting program, EFORM, automatically checks a disc to ensure that it has been formatted correctly. It is sometimes desirable to check the validity of the formatting of a disc at a later date, to make sure that there are no errors on it. VERIFY will check each sector to determine if it is readable. To verify a disc, type *VERIFY, optionally followed by the number of the drive containing the disc to be verified. e.g. *VERIFY 0 If you do not supply the drive number, VERIFY will ask you explicitly for it. When you have specified the drive to be verified, you will be asked to insert the disc and press RETURN.
