!Desktop+/HistoryApp
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.

1.01 Bug fix:
In 1.00 discovered 'save options' doesn't work.
It writes binary digits into !Run, in reverse
order, so saving the incorrect options.
Eg user sets all on except 'App solid drags', &
saves options, quits app, then reloads:
Options will not be correctly set. Instead in this
case, would get all on except for 'Sprite
directories'.
1.01 fixes this.
1.02 Slight change to text in menu, consistent with
new custom file option controlled by former
custom directory only option (now controls both).
1.03 Fix to RISC_OSLib 'event' code used in working out
where to open icon bar menu (previously went wrong
if menu contains items separated by dotted lines).
