StarInfo/Clifford/Example
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.

| Machines without RISC OS 3.50 or later are missing the ability to |
| kill off tasks that hang the machine. The macro below rectifies |
| this, setting up alt and break to give the option of killing the |
| current task. |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
Set RO350 Yes
RMEnsure UtilityModule 3.50 Set RO350 No

| If the CDFS module is found, then four macros are defined, allowing |
| control over the CD drive without the use of a desktop front end: |
| Alt + Cursor up : Start playing an audio CD |
| Alt + Cursor down : Open the CD drive |
| Alt + Cursor left : Move back a track on an audio CD |
| Alt + Cursor right : Move forward a track on an audio CD |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
Set CD Yes

If "<CD>" = "Yes" Then MacroCode MacroCode:CDControl
If "<CD>" = "Yes" Then Macro LeftAlt | RightAlt Up :: CDControl 0
If "<CD>" = "Yes" Then Macro LeftAlt | RightAlt Down :: CDControl 4
If "<CD>" = "Yes" Then Macro LeftAlt | RightAlt Left :: CDControl 2
If "<CD>" = "Yes" Then Macro LeftAlt | RightAlt Right :: CDControl 3

| ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| The two macros below allow text to be read from an icon into memory |
| and then inserted anywhere that accepts keyboard input, which need |
| not be limited to just the desktop. Pressing alt and copy will attempt |
| to read the text from an icon into Icon$Text. Alt and insert will then |
| copy the text out again, as if it had been typed at the keyboard. |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
MacroCode MacroCode:ReadIcon
If "<Wimp$State>" = "desktop" Then WimpTask Desktop_ReadIcon

Macro LeftAlt | RightAlt Insert :: InsertText <Icon$Text>
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Some programs intercept a large number of key presses when they own |
| the caret, and can stop other programs from receiving them. Badly |
| written ones will sometimes also intercept keys such as F12 which |
| can interfere with desktop operation. The macro below will remove |
| the caret from the current window when alt and the delete key is |
| pressed. |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
MacroCode MacroCode:LoseCaret
Macro LeftAlt | RightAlt Delete :: LoseCaret
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| A useful function provided by Menon and Director is the ability to |
| set the currently selected directory (CSD) when ctrl and tab are |
| pressed over a filer window. If neither of these modules are present |
| in the machine, a macro is set up to perform this action. |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

| Grabbing a sprite of the current screen can be achieved under the |
| desktop by using Paint, but outside of the desktop environment this |
| cannot be used. The macro below will save the screen whenever both |
| alt keys are pressed, under the filename Screen<number>, where |
| number is automatically increased each time. By default, these files |
| are put in the Scrap directory, but this can be altered by setting |
| the ScreenGrabs$Dir variable. |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
Set ScreenGrabs$Dir <Wimp$ScrapDir>
SetEval Screen%Number 0
SetMacro Alias$ScreenGrab SetEval Screen%Number Screen%Number+1|MScreenSave <ScreenGrabs$Dir>.Screen|<Screen%Number>
Macro LeftAlt RightAlt : ScreenGrab
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Older games, such as Zarch, will run too fast under the more recent |
| ARM processors. This can be offset to some degree by turning off the |
| cache in these processors, but once back in the desktop the slow |
| down caused by this can be unbearable. The macros below allow easy |
| control over the cache; alt and page up turns on the cache, and alt |
| and page down turns it off. |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
Macro LeftAlt | RightAlt PageUp : Cache On
Macro LeftAlt | RightAlt PageDown : Cache Off
