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
STREETS AND ALLEYS COMPATIBLE!
I HAVE done further revisions of my PATIENCE games and they should now
run correctly on all computers. [STREETS AND ALLEYS did not work on an
Electron when published in EUG #52 - Ed]
If you are using a computer with PAGE above &E00 and the programs are
downloaded, you will unfortunately not be able to load the statistics
files and the program will hang if you try. It may be possible to use
tape though this may be too awkward to be of use.
I have added the statistics routine to BELEAGURED CASTLE and STREETS
AND ALLEYS.
These use the short data files to save the Deal Numbers, your score
and whether you win or lose. They are set up using the "G.DFILRST"
program which, when run, sets the variables to zero and re-saves the
file for the game. This first asks for you to enter the first two
letters of the filename for game (BC, BH, SA).
I have also included the 'undo' facility in BELEAGURED CASTLE - it
was unfortunately not possible to do this for STREETS AND ALLEYS as
there was not enough memory with the longer program.
This facility uses the variable 'm$' to save the characters of the
key presses. When key <U> is pressed, the last two characters of this
variable are read to enable the last move to be reversed. The variable
'U%' is used as a flag to skip the check routines.
I think these brief notes will be of interest and maybe I will try to
explain more of my programming later.

RICHARD'S suite of patience games continue to grow in their profession-
ality, compatibility and ease of use. He's also currently working on new
archiving projects and a review of EUG #2 on disk!
