!PseudoApp/!Help/Readme
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.

This system makes it possible to have a utility program in every directory where you might need it without flooding your disc with copies of the same program. This program attempts to do the same for your Archimedes. I am aware of the fact that there are a number of filer alternatives for the Archimedes which all attempt to solve the drawbacks of the hierarchical directory structure of adfs. Most notable attempts are !Backdrop and !Menon but both have disadvantages of their own. !Backdrop fills up the background fairly rapid and this makes movement of windows and screen redrawing less snappy. Windows usually happen to obscure the icon you just need. !Menon has only one (very) slight disadvantage: you must know where to find your file. But it offers distinct speed advantage over the filer and I am a very happy user of it. With pseudo applications you can create a directory with all applications in it that you need for a specific task. This way you only have to open one directory and have everything at your disposal. If other people besides yourself use your computer (or one that you have to look after) they will certainly appreciate this approach. With pseudo applications you can also have directories with a lot of applications in it that don't take minutes to open and load huge amounts of icon sprites and declare lots of system variables even if you just want to use one program. Using !PseudoApp___________________________________________ PseudoApp can create references to applications only. To create a 'pseudo application' you should drag the application from a filer window onto the !PseudoApp icon on the iconbar. A 'save as' window will then appear. If the application had a !Sprites file its own sprite will be in this window otherwise the !application sprite will be used. This icon must be dragged to the directory of your choice. PseudoApp will refuse to create a pseudo application in the originating directory as this could overwrite the original. If you need more than one reference you could either repeat this proces or just copy the pseudo application to wherever you need it. Because the pseudo application contains a full pathname reference to the original you have to recreate it when you move the original around your disc. How it works_______________________________________________ !PseudoApp loads the !Sprites file of a directory and deletes every sprite from it except !<app_name> and sm!<app_name>. It then creates a directory with the same name as the referenced application and stores the remaining sprites (if any) in there and writes a Boot and a Run file. The Run file just calls the original application when it is run. Acknowledgements___________________________________________ Thanks to: -Joris Roling for his !Help application (you are probably staring at that right now). -Freddy Huttner for his excellent !NewModes module. (the 56Hz 896x360x16 mode is a dream to work with). -Acorn for developing this tremendous machine. -My girlfriend for putting up with so much lack of attention. Terms of Use_______________________________________________ You may freely copy as long as: -all files in this application directory are included. -this is not for commercial purposes -you do not charge for copying. -you do not put this program or parts of it on a disc for wich you are charging (other than the costs of the disc itself). -the application is not tampered with, tailoring of the !Run file (as described above) apart. -this Readme file is always included without any change made to its contents. -you do not upload this on a bulletin board which charges for its downloads. You may not 'borrow' the program code as a whole for inclusion into your own programs. The author reserves the right to amend these terms in cases where he deems misuse.
