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
DISC CATALOGUE ROUTINES:
This package consists of four programs:
Catalog; Coder; SetUp; Search.
Firstly, CHAIN "Coder". A file called "MultCod" is saved on disc.
Take a formatted, blank disc and set up a !BOOT file as follows:
*BUILD !Boot
CHAIN"Catalog"
<ESCAPE>
*OPT4,3
Copy the files "Catalog", "Search" and "MultCod" to the disc.
LOAD "SetUp", inset your disc then RUN, responding to the questions as
appropriate. This causes a new file "SP" to be saved.
"SetUp" is only used once, to initialise the system.
Number all your other discs, then insert the new disc and press
<SHIFT>+<BREAK>. Choose an appropriate option:
1 - to alter or update the information held about a specific disc
2 - to read the catalogue information of a disc
3 - to search for a file. Enter the name of the file to be searched for,
using a * as a wildcard for the last few characters (i.e. TEL* will
find files such as "Tell", "Teletxt", "Telsoft" etc.) Exit this option
with <ESCAPE>
4 - for a printout of the results of the search
5 - to show the free space of a disc
6 - produce a security "backup" of the disc
This program is taken from the Micro User magazine, May 1987, pages 135 to
140.
