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.

Five Alive
----------
By Jonathan Evans
The Traffic and Water_Tank BASIC programs are described by the Five Alive
article in the March '91 issue of Archimedes World magazine.
When you run 'Water_Tank', a list of data will appear in a window on the
scree&. Press <CTRL> and <SHIFT> to halt the scrolling i& you want to read
the information. When all the data has been generated, a graph is drawn on
the screen and is saved on the disk. There is not enough room on the cover
disk to hold the 20K screeN file so an e2ror message will appear.
To use the program fully you will need to copy the Water_Tank program to
another disk which has 20K or more of free space. This can be done simply by
selecting 'Open viewer' from the Five Alive menu and dragging the program
icon to the window of the target disk. 00000000 0a 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 |. | 00000010 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 | | 00000020 20 20 46 69 76 65 20 41 6c 69 76 65 0a 20 20 20 | Five Alive. | 00000030 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 | | 00000040 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 2d 2d | --| 00000050 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 2d 0a 0a 20 20 20 20 20 20 |--------.. | 00000060 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 | | 00000070 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 42 79 20 4a 6f 6e 61 74 | By Jonat| 00000080 68 61 6e 20 45 76 61 6e 73 0a 0a 0a 54 68 65 20 |han Evans...The | 00000090 54 72 61 66 66 69 63 20 61 6e 64 20 57 61 74 65 |Traffic and Wate| 000000a0 72 5f 54 61 6e 6b 20 42 41 53 49 43 20 70 72 6f |r_Tank BASIC pro| 000000b0 67 72 61 6d 73 20 61 72 65 20 64 65 73 63 72 69 |grams are descri| 000000c0 62 65 64 20 62 79 20 74 68 65 20 46 69 76 65 20 |bed by the Five | 000000d0 41 6c 69 76 65 0a 61 72 74 69 63 6c 65 20 69 6e |Alive.article in| 000000e0 20 74 68 65 20 4d 61 72 63 68 20 27 39 31 20 69 | the March '91 i| 000000f0 73 73 75 65 20 6f 66 20 41 72 63 68 69 6d 65 64 |ssue of Archimed| 00000100 65 73 20 57 6f 72 6c 64 20 6d 61 67 61 7a 69 6e |es World magazin| 00000110 65 2e 0a 0a 57 68 65 6e 20 79 6f 75 20 72 75 6e |e...When you run| 00000120 20 27 57 61 74 65 72 5f 54 61 6e 6b 27 2c 20 61 | 'Water_Tank', a| 00000130 20 6c 69 73 74 20 6f 66 20 64 61 74 61 20 77 69 | list of data wi| 00000140 6c 6c 20 61 70 70 65 61 72 20 69 6e 20 61 20 77 |ll appear in a w| 00000150 69 6e 64 6f 77 20 6f 6e 20 74 68 65 0a 73 63 72 |indow on the.scr| 00000160 65 65 26 2e 20 50 72 65 73 73 20 3c 43 54 52 4c |ee&.
