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.

!Help file for ArcFS version 0.30 
by M.Smith
22nd Feb 1991

If you find ArcFS useful please register, the cost of which is �5. This will
entitle you to receive a free upgrade in the September/October 1991 once a
final version is available. Send a cheque for �5 payable to me to the
address below and I will acknowledge your registration. Commercial users and
P.D. libraries will receive an automatic upgrade.

Many thanks to David Pilling, author of Spark and SparkPlug, for providing
me with the information to enable me to include support for Squashed (PK arc
compatible) and Compress formats. Spark is available directly from him,
currently for �5.99

ArcFS has filing system number 56. My thanks to Acorn for the allocation of
this filing system number.

ArcFS is a read-only filing system. Use Spark to create archives.

ArcFS allows the loading and opening of (compressed) files in archives 
almost as easily as files on ADFS or RamFS. It has its own ArcFS filer 
which displays the root directory in a filer window of any archive 
which is double clicked. From then on files and applications may be 
loaded as normal by double clicking them. Directories may be displayed 
also by double clicking them. ArcFS can, of cause, also be used from 
the command line.

You may notice a small increase in the time taken to load files 
compared to loading files from ADFS and also that ArcFS takes a short 
time to Open Archives when they are double clicked. 


ArcFS supports the following entry points:

    FSEntry_Func 0 to set current directory (*Dir)

    FSEntry_Func 1 to set library directory (*Lib)

    FSEntry_Func 2 to catalogue directory (*Cat)

    FSEntry_Func 3 to examine directory (*EX)

    FSEntry_Func 4 to catalogue library directory (*LCat)

    FSEntry_Func 5 to examine library directory (*LEX)

    FSEntry_Func 6 to examine objects (*Info).

    FSEntry_Func 15 to respond to requests from the Filer for 
    the necessary information to display a directory window

    FSEntry_Func 20 to give full information on objects (*FileInfo)

    FSEntry_File 5 to read catalogue information on a file

    FSEntry_File 255 to load files

    FSEntry_Open to provide facilities for opening files for 
    random access input. ArcFS claims memory from the R.M.A. 
    the size of the uncompressed file and the loads the file 
    into this claimed memory. For this reason it is possible to 
    get 'No Room in RMA errors' when opening large files.

    FSEntry_GetBytes reads required bytes from memory claimed 
    by FSEntry_Open

    FSEntry_Close releases memory claimed by FSEntry_Open


Catalogue Storage in memory

When an archive is opened the number of objects in the archive is 
counted and a block of R.M.A., 32 bytes for each object is claimed and 
the catalogue information is read into this block

Compression formats

This version of ArcFS supports crunched, packed, new format stored
objects, squashed and compressed objects. Objects in a format  that
ArcFS cannot handle will give 'Can't handle archive' errors when  you
attempt to load them. Archives containing old format stored objects cannot
be opened.

Memory requirements

No. of bits compression    Spark formats           Memory requirement

12 bits                    Crunch, Compress 12     Just over 16K
13 bits                    Squash, Compress 13     Just over 32K
14 bits                    Compress 14             Just over 64K
15 bits                    Compress 15             Just over 128K
16 bits                    Compress 16             Just over 256K

The above table shows the requirements for free memory in order to load each
of the available formats. Using 16 bit compression formats can cause
problems when trying to load such files on a 1Mbyte machine.

Simultaneously open archives

This version of ArcFS supports only one open archive at a time. Future 
versions may support may different named archives selected by the 
inclusion of the name in a special field. This version supports but 
ignores special fields allowing the ArcFS filer to include the leafname 
of the archive as the special field so that the user can see at a 
glance which archive is open.

Screen Output format

Screen Output follows that of Filecore as closely as possible. *FileInfo gives a totaly different output to that of Filecore.

*FileInfo

*FileInfo displays the complete Header information held in memory about
files. The output of *FileInfo is as follows:

Name       LWR/wr ff format  llllllll aaaaaaaa eeeeeeee 00cccccc pppppppp rr%

where:

    Name is the object leafname

    LWR/wr are the object attributes

    ff is the Header Version Number (represents the compression format)

    format is the type of data compression (always store for directories)

    llllllll is the full object length (for directories this is the total                 compressed size of all objects contained in it.)

    aaaaaaaa is the load address (directories are filetype &DDC)

    eeeeeeee is the execute address

    00cccccc is the compressed file size. The top byte is always shown as                 zero regardless of whether this is the case as the                           compressed length is stored in the top 24 bits of the file                   attributes. Unless you are using VERY long files this should not             be a problem. It equals the full length for stored objects.

    pppppppp This depends on whether the object is a file or directory. For a             file it is the position in the archive file at which the file                data begins. For directories this is the memory address at which             the next header in the parent directory exists (not very useful,             but used internally by ArcFS).

         rr% This is the compression ratio, i.e. the compressed file size                 expressed as a percentage of the original. Can suffer from the               effect explained above for compressed file sizes larger than                 &FFFFFF. 

File Attributes

The lowest 24 bits of the compressed file length are stored in the top 24
bits of the file attributes.

User Root Directories (U.R.D.'s)

Now supported. Use *URD to select the user root (&) directory.

The previously selected directory (P.S.D.)

Now supported. When a new directory selection is made, the old one becomes
the P.S.D. Use *Back to swap the C.S.D. and P.S.D. The P.S.D. can be
specified at the begining of a pathname as \.

Automatic library selection

If ArcFS finds a directory starting with the letters 'Lib' in the root
directory of an archive when it is open it selects this as the library
directory, otherwise the root directory ($) is selected.

Unset Directory contexts

This is not supported. All directory contexts are set to '$' when an
archive is opened (unless an automatic library selection is made, see
above).

Random access filing

Files are decompressed and held in R.M.A. whilst they are open. You  should
note that when sprite files are loaded they are opened for  random access
input and therefore there needs to be enough free memory  available when the
sprites are loaded. This may cause problems when  large sprite files are
loaded into a 1 Mbyte machine (anyone with an  unexpanded A305 - don't
bother!) but I cannot really suggest anything  short of upgrading to 2
Mbytes (other than making sure that all the  possible free memory is
available to the R.M.A.). When I bought my 2Mbyte RAM upgrade in Dec. 1989
it cost �150 +VAT. Now it can cost as little as a third of that price and is
still falling. I have found it very useful and can recommend it to any users
of 1 Mbyte A3000's and A410's who use their computers for more than just
arcade games. Other files such as  Exec and Obey files are also opened for
random access input but these  are usually short.

Use with 65Host and 65Tube

ArcFS can easily be used with 65Host and 65Tube. 65Host users must open the
required archive before entering the emulator under which ArcFS is selected
by:

    *Dir ArcFS:

DFS emulations may also be set up in archives (as on ADFS) and used
under 65Host

PC Format

Files archived using PC Format in Spark or archived using SEA arc or PK arc
on a PC all have file type &111.

Directory levels

Up to 64 directory levels are supported. In the unlikely event that more
exist in an archive further subdirectories are shown as archives.

Commands provided:

    *ArcFS                - selects ArcFS as the current filing system
    *OpenArchive <Object> - Opens an archive for file operations
    *CloseArchive         - Closes any open archive

Filing system commands:

    *Back                 - swaps the currently and previously selected                                  directories (CSD and PSD)
    *URD                  - selects the user root directory (URD)
    *Garble <PassWord>    - Loads files garbled with a password
    *NoEncryption         - Loads files with no encryption


File encryption

This version supports garbled files. Incorrect passwords, use of Garble for
files with no encryption or trying to load garbled files having set ArcFS to
load files with no encryption will result in a 'Data Corrupt' error. This
will also occur if data in an archive becomes corrupted.

ArcFS Filer

The ArcFS filer is provided so that directories may be displayed in normal
filer windows. Archives are opened by double clicking them or dragging them
to the ArcFS icon. The root directory of the most recently opened archive
may be displayed by clicking on the icon. A menu is provided with four
options:

Encryption- Sets the encryption method and password (if any) that is used.               The subdirectory has options for no encryption and garble. DES               encryption is not available in this version and so is shaded.

Close arc - Closes the currently open archive and all arcfs directory
            windows.

Kill      - Closes the current archive, removes all arcfs directory windows,
            Kills the ArcFS module and Quits the ArcFS Filer.

Quit      - Quits the ArcFS Filer.

Kill and Quit both prompt for confirmation. Click on OK to Kill/Quit or
Cancel otherwise. Note pressing escape has the same effect as clicking on OK.


All comments and suggestions for future improvement are welcome but please

correct them.

Version Improvements

v0.20 First Release version
v0.21 Max number of directory levels increased from 16 to 64, some tidying
v0.22 Snowed in 8th Feb 91 so made extensive changes: URD and PSD now              supported. Commands *Back and *URD provided. *FileInfo command added.        Compression format removed from *Info and *EX output (now given by           *FileInfo). *Info & *FileInfo now give information on multiple               wildcarded files. Compressed file size now stored in the top 24 bits of      the file attributes. PC format files are now supported. Supplied with        new ArcFS Filer with icon and menu.
v0.23 Corrected 2 bugs - ArcFS did not release 16k of claimed memory when an       error occured during the load crunch routine. If you cancelled a             request from the load pack routine to insert a disk the request was          repeated a second time.
v0.30 Now added support for squashed and compressed formats. Also added            support for Garbled files, *Garble and *NoEncryption commands provided.      Comprehensive error checking checks for corrupted data and/or passwords      and file encryption methods inconsistent with those that have been set.
