!ArcFS/!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
ArcFS
by Mark Smith

� Don�t view this option - it just opens the ArcFS application. ArcFS in on the root directory of the CD-ROM, in the same window as this menu.

This is the read-only version of ArcFS. Many of the files on the CD-ROM are in archives, in order to fit as much as possible onto the disc. They can be identified because they have a directory icon with a small yellow flash in the corner. However, these should open exactly like directories if ArcFS is loaded, and you should not experience any problems with them. Some software will not run from within and Archive, and must be de-archived by copying it to another disc first.
