F/+HINT13
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
GETDEC
GETDEC reads a number as an ASCII string and converts it into binary. The
maximum size of a binary number that it can return is two bytes. No errors
are generated for overflows; GETDEC will return the bottom sixteen bits of
an arbitrarily large number.
On entry: TEMP06 points to start of string.
Y gives offset from beginning of string to
start of ASCII number; no leading blanks
allowed.
On exit: A contains low byte of number.
X contains high byte of number.
Y is updated to point to the non-numeric
character that terminated the number.
EQ no number was found; A,X,Y undefined.
KINCH
Call this routine to get a character of input from the keyboard. The
keyboard buffer is flushed first. ESCAPEs are detected and acknowledged
automatically, using the OSBYTE 126 call, and the Carry flag indicates
whether ESCAPE was detected.
On entry: No entry conditions.
On exit: CC A contains input character.
CS ESCAPE was detected.
MULPLY
MULPLY multiplies two eight bit numbers together, giving a sixteen bit
result:
On entry: A contains an 8-bit number.
Y contains an 8-bit number.
On exit: A contains the low byte of the result.
Y contains the high byte of the result.
CS if Y is non-zero (the result is greater than
255).
X preserved.
OUTDEC
Call OUTDEC to output a sixteen bit decimal number to the VDU.
On entry: X contains the low byte of the number.
Y contains the high byte of the number.
On exit: A,X,Y undefined.
PSTRNG
PSTRNG outputs a string in-line with the code to the VDU. The string must
be delimited with a null, zero byte.
For example: JSR PSTRNG
EQUS "This will be output to the VDU"
EQUB 0
On entry: Immediately following the JSR call, there is a
string delimited with a null. The string must
not be more then 256 characters long, including
the delimiter.
On exit: A,Y undefined.
X preserved.
RELLIN
RELLIN reads a line of input, and puts it into LINBUF. The input is
terminated with a Carriage Return or an ESCAPE. The OSWORD 0 call is used
to get the input. TEMP06 is left pointing to the beginning of LINBUF, and Y
gives the offset to the first non-space character in LINBUF.
On entry: No entry parameters.
On exit: LINBUF contains the line of input; maximum 256
characters.
TEMP06 points to LINBUF.
CMDPAR gives offset from TEMP06 to the first
non-space character.
CS ESCAPE terminated input.
SKPCBL
SKPCBL skips spaces in a line of input, terminated by a Carriage Return.
On entry: TEMP06 points to beginning of input string.
CMDPAR gives offset from start of string to start
skipping spaces.
On exit: CMDPAR gives offset to first non-space character
after initial value.
A contains first non-space character.
EQ hit CR at end of line, before non-space
character was found.
The Index System
The ViewStore ROM contains a set of routines for creating and maintaining
index files. These are used internally by code in the ROM, and also by the
INDEX utility. They are very powerful and could be used by extra utilities
to great effect.
You will be familiar with the way the ViewStore itself uses the index
system. A utility could use indexes side by side with the ROM, or it could
build and maintain indexes for its own purpose.
In a ViewStore index file, you can store a "key", and associate with the key
a pointer value, 4 bytes in size. They key can be any string of ASCII
characters, and the pointer value any four byte integer, but usually the
pointer value is used to remember a record file address.
The characters that make up an index key must be between the values 32 and
254, inclusive. Since the alphabetical value of numbers and dates is not
the same as the value we generally wish these data types to have (that is
numbers in numerical order, and dates in age order), the ASCII number and
date fields as they are stored in ViewStore data files must be converted
into another form before being sent to the index system. A routine, ADJVAL,
is provided to do this. Remember, if you are building or altering an index
file, to use the ADJVAL routine on the key.
The index system uses a technique akin to that of IBM's ISAM (indexed
sequential access method) and VSAM (virtual sequential access method)
systems.
