!ArcFSInfo/!Help
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
!Help file for ArcFSInfo version 0.10
by M.Smith
22nd June 1992
This is the first version of ArcFSInfo, a support application for ArcFS 2.
It gives full information on archives and archived objects, including full
and compressed sizes and a ratio of the compressed size as a percentage of
the full size.
To get information on an archive or archived object (or a selection either),
simply drag the object(s) to the ArcFSInfo icon.
It contains a EnsArcFS2 utility, which will check for the presence of ArcFS
2, and execute the following command if it is not present. This is the ONLY
file that may be taken out of the application and used separately.
This version of ArcFSInfo is not P.D., but may be distributed subject to the
conditions in the 'Licence' file.
