PD/BACKDROP/!StickyBrd/ExtModls/DirChange/!Help/ReadMe
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.

Seery | * * | | * * \ / * * \___________________________________________________________________/ * * * * * ***************************************************************************** DirChange allows you to quickly change the default directory. If it is active a normal directory icon with the letters "CD" superimposed over it will appear, otherwise you can make it active by clicking the Active item of it's menu. Drag the Directory Changer directory to a filer viewer to set the default directory to that viewer. You can check by tapping f12 and then typing CAT followed by RETURN. The Directory Changer's position is saved in the Desktop file but the active/inactive flag is stored in a !Config file. If no !Config file is present the error DirChange: Cannot find !Config will appear, this is non fatal. The !Config file actually only determines DirChanger's status if !StickyBrd is started up with no desktop loaded; otherwise DirChanger switches to match the desktop. ***************************************************************************** � David J.
