S/+Y2001
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.

Doomsday
========
The number of people fretting about
the year 2000 causing problems with
the Master 128 has been increasing.
All of the disk user groups,such as
EUG and 8BS have had articles,but I
can assure you not to worry.
I have produced a ROM that will
correct the problem & also extend the
century range available to Jan 1st
year 1800 until Dec 31st 2199.
These can now be ordered for my usual
ROM prices,`4,including instructions.
The program comes on an 8k ROM,and
uses Acorn calls only.If you're not
using a Master,but do have a real time
clock,check in your manual before
ordering that it supports OSword 14
and 15 and OSbytes 161 and 162.There
is also a program on this disk to
detect whether these calls are
supported which you should try before
ordering.
Not only does it include the date
fixer but also a *DRIVE to *DIR:
converter to help ADFS run programs
written with DFS in mind (this patch
is also available from my web page).
As a bonus there's a current working
directory command,which shows the CWD
if you use *DIR with the drive
parameter missing.This is also on my
web page,along with many other titles.
If you're not using a Master,you'll
find the built in *ROMS command and
*SHOW command very handy.
To improve reverse compatability from
Master to BBC the *CLOSE command has
also been included.
An additional *CONFIGURE command sets
the current timezone,which can be
used to toggle between BST and GMT.
Please note that this should NOT be
run rom sideways RAM.
Please state when ordering:
1)Your name
2)The return address
3)Whether you are using a Master/other
All in all this looks to be a very
handy ROM - after all time is
literally ticking away...
