!Grapevine/!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.

Ovation Files for Grapevine
By Harlington Upper School

Run this application to open a directory containing a number of Ovation files and a font, Swz.

The Ovation file 'Grapevine' contains the whole Grapevine newspaper for May 1993 (minus pictures). The newspaper was described in the article on page 24 of the August 1993 issue. The files called 'Stage1' to 'Stage7' demonstrate how a page in the magazine was created, as shown in the article.

The files use the following fonts:

Homerton.Medium
Homerton.Bold
Homerton.Medium.Oblique
Homerton.Bold.Oblique
NewHall.Bold
Pembroke.Medium
Pembroke.Medium.Italic
Selwyn
Swz.Black
Swz.Black.Oblique
Trinity.Medium
Trinity.Bold
Trinity.Medium.Italic
Trinity.Bold.Italic

All of these are standard Acorn fonts except for Swz, which is provided on this disc.
