!Info
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
Mappa Atlantic. This Draw file will be useful for both History and Geography. Dar es Salaam. A map of Dar es Salaam together with some instructions for work. MappaMundi. This is thought to be the first map of the world and was drawn in 1270 by a monk who never left the monastry he lived in. He listened to the tales of many travellers to obtain the information needed for the task. It's actually not as inaccurate as one might first think. Many of the countries are in the right place, although not the right size or shape.
