StarInfo/Hammond/!EyeWitnes/Resources/Read

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.

Feel free to modify these sprites, hopefully you can
understand what they are.

BUT NOTE: The sprites must remain as: 
 � Mode 28 (VGA 256 cols)
 � With desktop palette (as supplied by !paint)
 � With dimensions: 256x256 for 'texture'
                    128x128 for 'background'

Your best bet is to make new ones by using the
originals, and just drawing over them. (Remembering
to make copies first!)

Here seems a good place to credit the background as
being derived from a texture created with the
excellect !Texture by TIM TYLER. Also I have to bow
down extremely low to !Zap by DOMINIC SYMES - the
best editor in the world (probably).
