SillyStuff/!Globe/!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
This application is in the "mindless" directory of
my harddisc - I suggest you do something similar.
Please feel free to tamper with the program and
to improve it or use different sprites. The coding
is very simple and I've documented it fairly well.
However, as with all Public Domain, I hold the
copyright, I therefore urge you not to delete any
of the names on the template or in the code. I have
no objection to you ADDING your name on the template
if you feel you have improved Globe dramatically.
Many thanks to R. Molyneaux, the globe sprites were
initially his. Mike and I simply squashed them to
fit on the icon bar and took Britain off!
I am always interested in more useless Public Domain
stuff, so if you have any could you please send me
some. You do, after all, have this globe . . .
