DesktopPD/ExtraBar/!ExDocs/Docs/limit
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.

If you find any others not listed then you can email me at <a href="mailto:davemac@atlantic.oaktree.co.uk">davemac@atlantic.oaktree.co.uk</a>. I always welcome suggestions that can make my applications better.</p> <H2>Moving buttons</H2> <ul> <li>ExtraBar will not automatically alter whether a button is on the left or right hand side of the screen. <li>Dragging a button off the bar should save a separate file and delete the button from the bar. </ul> <H2>Saving buttons</H2> <ul> <li>There is currently no 'Save with sprites' option when saving the buttons. So they are reloaded automatically with the buttons. </ul> <H2>Commands</H2> <ul> <li>There appears to be a problem when using a percentage symbol in a command (%). RiscOS appears to try and replace it with some data, even if its surrounded by quotes! </ul> <hr noshade> <p align="right">If you have any problems or queries about ExtraBar 1.xx then you can<br>contact me at <a href="mailto:davemac@atlantic.oaktree.co.uk">davemac@atlantic.oaktree.co.uk</a>. </body> </html>
