P/+aeman1

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
MANUAL FOR ASCEDIT (BBC BASIC)


This file describes the program ASCEDIT which loads in any file of size 16k

or less to edit one byte at a time,then resave as 'OUTPUT'.

The manual is (C)1998 SPROW and software is (C)1996 SPROW


INSTRUCTIONS-

At the BASIC prompt,type CHAIN"ASCEDIT"


Supply the program with a filename,and that will be loaded in.


The file will be displayed in a '*DUMP' style,which can then be moved around

using the cursor keys.Typing at the cursor overwrites the current byte and 

values must be entered in hexadecimal.


When finished,press 'ESCAPE' to save your changes - the result will be saved as

OUTPUT on the current media.


EXIT MESSAGES-

"Bad name or file not found" - the filename you entered does not exist

"File too large to fit in memory" - only 16k or less files can be edited


KNOWN PROBLEMS/FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS-

No known problems


HISTORY-
