JulyFix/!Blunder
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
Unfortunately, the map of the network shown on page 43 of the July issue lost its lines which resulted in probably the most useless diagram I've ever seen. The reason was that I drew the lines 'thin' rather than selected an actual line width (like 0.25). As a result, the postscript output printed the lines 'zero width'.
