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.

This is EditLex, part of PenFriend � Design Concept by Roger Spooner ---------------------------------------------- This program will allow you to load and save predictive typer lexicons for PenFriend and 'PAL' (on the IBM PC). You should not run EditLex at the same time as PenFriend. This is because you may lose your work when PenFriend quits and saves its lexicon over the one on disc. To load a file, drag it in to the main EditLex window. To save it, drag it from the appropraite box on the menu of that window. Words which are typed in by the user when PenFriend is in use are tagged as being unverified. This allows an experienced user (teacher) to check through all 'New Words' from the corresponding menu entry. This allows you to acknowledge a word or remove it from the lexicon. Thus spelling mistakes and inappropriate words can be missed out. You can even change the spelling without altering the frequency of use, or alter just the frequency. To check a single word, click on it with the left hand mouse button. If a lexicon is known to be correct, you can accept all the words without going through them individually. Similarly, you can mark all words as invalid by choosing the appropriate menu option. To learn all the words in a text file (any word processed file once saved as plain text), drag the file in to the editor window. This can be done for several files if desired. Many future enhancements are planned for this Editor program The main lexicon for the PenFriend program is stored in as 'MainLex' in the !PenFriend application directory. To get at it, hold down shift and double click on the !PenFriend application. The MainLex file is automatically loaded when you run PenFriend. -------------------------------------------------
