Help/Type

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.

Usage: *TYPE <File> [<offset>]

TYPE is a machine code  utility used to
print  a text  file  to the  console; a
starting  offset  within  the  file may
optionally be specified (in hex).

  All possible end of line records (CR,
LF,CR;LF or LF;CR) are  translated into
a LF:CR sequence.


  You may prematurely  escape from TYPE
by pressing ESCAPE.


TYPE uses memory  &A00-&AFF, and should
therefore be 'transparent' in use. (i.e
it won't corrupt language workspace).
