P/+dMAN1

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

MANUAL FOR OSWDTCT (BBC BASIC)


This file describes the program OSWDTCT which makes several OS calls to your

version of the operating system and additional ROMs to see if you have suitable

hard and software to allow the 'Doomsday' ROM to be used.

The 'Doomsday' ROM extends the date range of 8bit Acorns from 1900-1999 to the

year 1800-2199,and also adds several useful *commands.


The manual and software is (C)1997 SPROW


INSTRUCTIONS-

At the BASIC prompt,type CHAIN"OSWDTCT"


The program will then report back to you which OS calls you have available,

which it needs to run.Plus an overall opinion whether 'Doomsday' will function

or not in your machine.


EXIT MESSAGES-

"Doomsday is suitable for your machine" - the calls reqd are supported

"Doomsday is unsuitable for you machine" - the calls reqd are not supported

"Doomsday is only suitable for 8 bit machines" - only 6502 based machines run Doomsday 


KNOWN PROBLEMS/FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS-

No known problems


HISTORY-

V1.00 Original submitted to 8 Bit software,EUG,and Acorn User magazines.

V1.05 Check for machine id so that 32 bit Acorns are rejected.
