!MultiStor/!IHelp
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.

Impulse Technical Information:
{
ServerName: MultiStore
Methods:
GetField <string>
GetTimeDate [<string>]
GetData <string>
Descriptions:
GetField <integer>
GetField returns the value of the supplied expression or an error message. The expression has the same syntax as those used in MultiStore (eg. in the Formula Report) and thus may refer to field names using @ or #.
GetDateTime [<string>]
This method returns the time and/or date in the format specified by the optional string parameter. The format string is exactly that described in the Archimedes User Guide pp337-338. If the format string is not present then GetDateTime returns the date using the default format string "%DY%ST %MO %CE%YR".
GetData <string>
This method is functionally identical to GetField and is provided for compatability with the Importer program supplied by Computer Concepts.
