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.

Dear Gus, I have continued the adventures of Exile. Unfortunately I have to again begin with the word unfortunately, as I did with the letter in issue 17 as probably no one saw it. This was in *DIR LETTERS but not included inthe MENU, and included brief explanations for the "missing" EXILE part,and the second LOTTERY program. I suspect this happened because you gotmy disc just before the early release of issue 17. I hope you don't think I am a nitpicker waiting for the next clanger, Iam sure we all know it is hard enough to produce one error free program or letter, and fully appreciate the task of editing a whole disc. Issue 17 was excellent, and promises much for the future. I sympathize with the uninterested with the amount of disc space taken up by EXILE.I only took on this task in response to pleas for help and will be glad when it is completed, not just to make space for topics of more general interest. As you have indicated that annual payment of subscriptions will benefitthe running of the group I enclose such payment. John McHugh, Washington, Tyne & Wear. SORRY ABOUT MISSING YOUR LETTER FROM LMENU IN EUG17. DON'T APPOLOGISE FOR NITPICKING, WITHOUT IT I WON'T KNOW HOW WELL I'M DOING. I NEED THAT FEEDBACK, HOPEFULLY ACCOMPANIED BY A SUBMISSION, SO THAT I CAN PERFECT MY METHODS AND SYSTEMS. I DON'T TAKE ANY CRITICISMS PERSONALLY, I HAVE VERY THICK SKIN. SO IF YOU SEE A PROBLEM OR SOMETHING YOU DON'T LIKE TELL ME ABOUT IT, WHEN YOU SEND A SUBMISSION. AS FAR AS YOUR ARTICLES ABOUT EXILE ARE CONCERNED ANUMBER OF MEMBERS HAVE SAID TO ME THAT THEY LIKE THEM. I DO TOO FOR THAT MATTER. CLEARLY SOME MEMBERS WILL WRITE IN WITH CRITICISMS ABOUT SOME OF THE CONTENT OF EUG BUT IF ANYONE DOESN'T LIKE SOMETHING DON'T READ IT. IF WRITING ANYTHING FOR EUG STOPS BEING FUN THEN DON'T DO IT. I RUN EUG BECAUSE I LOVE IT. I DO AND WILL CONTINUE TO NAG IN A FRIENDLY WAY MEMBERS TO SEND SUBMISSIONS. WITHOUT THESE THERE WILL BE NO EUG. A NUMBER OF MEMBERS INCLUDING ME WILL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FINAL EPOSODE OF YOUR EXILE ODYSSEY AND I HOPE YOU WILL CONTINUE YOUR EFFORTS WITH YOUR EXPERIENCES OF OTHER GAMES. YOU MAY NOT FULLY REALISE THAT YOUR WRITING IS REALLY QUITE INTERESTING. BUT WHAT EVER ELSE YOU DO JOHN DON'T GET THE IDEA THAT YOUR ARTICLES ARE NOT ENJOYED NOT JUST FOR THEIR SUBJECT BUT FOR THEIR CONTENT.
