Regulars/Education/Jargon/Preston/OffTheWall
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.

Share is the name of the filing system (altenatives might be ADFS, IDEFS, SCSI etc) :: two colons to separate filing system and disc name Programs is the the name of the disc. This could be replaced with the number of the disc (eg 4, 5 etc) $. is the root or start of the disc. DTP.!Publisher is the full path name of the application. In this case, if you click on the hard disc icon, there should be a folder called DTP. Inside should be !Publisher.
