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.

The end of Telesoftware
=======================
The BBC's Board of Management have agreed to a range of proposals from the
new Head of Teletext Services. Amongst these is the closure of the BBC
Telesoftware service, to take effect from the end of August.
All Telesoftware services, including the new Satellite data facility,
educational broadcasts, and computer facilities to the handicapped, are to
end.
The view is that the size of the audience for Telesoftware services is too
small to justify the transmission space involved, despite recent evidence
to the contrary.
If you have any comments regarding this decision, please write to:
