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.

Getting the System Running

To enter the system, type:
  CHAIN "Prog1" <RETURN>

The introductory title screen will now be displayed, showing two options:
A - Digitise a new picture
B - Work on an existing picture

Pressing "A" will enable pictures to be captured from the WATFORD
digitiser and subsequently saved to disc, under the file name which is now
asked for. Details of how the video camera should be set up etc. are given
in the digitiser handbook.

Option "B" should be used when an existing picture requires editing (this
picture need not have been generated using a digitiser). After entering
the picture filename, it will be loaded from disc and displayed, along
with a large square which represents the area of the picture which will be
visible when the edit screen is active. Therefore, this square should be
placed around the most important area of the screen using the "Z" and "X"
keys, when aligned to the desired specification, the SPACE BAR should be
pressed. The edit screen will then be displayed, showing the cross-wire
cursor in the centre, and the icon menu to the right.

The Icon Menu

Once the required graphics screen has been loaded, the icon menu will be
displayed.  Firstly, the input device must be chosen by pressing the
SPACE-BAR for keyboard, or the joystick button for joystick.  The input
functions are given in Fig. 1.

                   Fig.1   Input functions


Note that when the pixel editor is active the cursor keys may also be used
to move the cursor around.

There are four feature selection icons, and a further 18 icons which
specify certain effects to do with these features.

To select a feature, the cross wire cursor must be moved onto the relevant
icon, and the selection key pressed.  Note that this feature will not come
into effect until the cursor is consequently moved into the graphics area.

Selecting colours

Near the bottom of the icon menu are four blocks of colour.  Moving the
cross-wires over the required colour and pressing the action key will
result in all subsequent graphics operations being carried out in this
colour.  If a colour is clicked more than once, then its physical colour
will change to the nexr one available in the computer's palette, with
subsequent clicks resulting in the whole of the palette being rotatd
through one at a time.

The Pixel Editor

By selecting the magnifying glass icon and moving into the graphics area,
the cursor will change into a square which may be moved around the screen. 
A magnified version of the contents of this square will be displayed in
either the top left or bottom right of the screen - if a required part of
the screen is being covered by this magnified section, running the square
cursor into this area will make it flip to the other quadrant, enabling
access to the whole of the graphics area.

Any pixels may be altered by pressing the action key, which activates a
small edit cursor that roams around the current quadrant.  Holding down
the action key while moving the cursor enables these magnified pixels to
be changed to the currently selected colour.  These alterations are also
echoed to the corresponding pixels in the magnifying cursor.

Moving the edit cursor far right results in it changing into an icon
cursor, which provides a means of selecting the colour icons, after which
moving the cursor far left will once again display the edit cursor in the
current quadrant.

Note that if the magnifying glass icon is selected when the icon cursor is
active, this will result in the magnifying cursor being powered up upon
leaving the icon area, thus enabling pixel editing of another section of
the screen.

Selecting any other feature icon apart from the magnifying glass will
result in the pixel editor being shut down, and the feature so selected
being powered up.

The Fill Routine

The tap icon represents the fill routine, and can be selected in the usual
manner.  To the bottom right of the screen is an icon which represents the
pattern with which the fill is to operate (the pattern icon).  This
pattern may be changed by clicking one of the four colours displayed in
the "super-pixel" icon displayed immediately above the pattern icon.

Having selected the required fill colour, any part of the graphics area
may be filled by placing the cross-wire cursor at the desired position,
and then pressing the action key.  This will result in the selected colour
flooding the background colour which was detected at the cross-wire
position, until a non-background colour is encountered.  The fill may be
terminated at any time by pressing the ESCAPE key, which may be useful
when the flood leaks through the desired boundary (the pixel editor should
be used to check that a boundary is water-tight).

Exiting the System

The disc icon should be clicked when editing is complete, resulting in a
little window being pulled down asking for a filename, which should be
entered from the keyboard.  The screen will then be saved, and the prompt
"QUIT?(Y/N)" will be displayed.  Pressing "N" will enable further editing
of the current picture, while "Y" returns control back to BASIC.
