Apple][e/PD/BOB/ARMBOB/!ArmBob/!Help
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
******* ARM BOB v2.3 *************** GCW 31/05/97 *******
Double clicking on !ArmBob will define four
filetypes:
BobFile BobTask BobProj BobPTask
and their run-actions, and will open the directory
of the pseudo-filing-system Bob: which contains Bob
programs.
BobFiles run in a command window - use these for wimp
programs.
BobTask programs run in a taskwindow. Only use these
for non-wimp programs with no graphics output.
BobProj files contain the pathnames of files comprising
a Bob program. Just one must contain the top-level
function main(). Running the BobProj file compiles the
files and runs the resulting code in a command window.
BobPTask files are similar to BobProj files but runs
the program in a taskwindow.
Compilation errors cause a throwback window to open.
Click on the Throwback icon to open an edit window
on the source file, with the error line highlighted.
To debug and/or trace double click on the obey files
debug and trace, and convert your program to BobTask
or BobPTask filetype. Double click on the !Armbob
icon to switch debug or trace mode off.
See the docs directory for more information.
