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.

SolidDrag ========= Purpose..... Simple means of setting/unsetting the Wimp DragASprite Author...... Graham Crow Version..... 1.00 Date........ 10 September 1994 From RISC OS 3.0 it has been possible to enable solid sprite dragging of save icons and the like. This is achieved by configuring the CMOS RAM appropriately. Bit 1 of byte 28 has to be set to enable solid sprite dragging, and unset for 'rotating box' dragging. No simple way is provided to do this and hence the SolidDrag utility. Double-click to open the window and simply click on yes or no. The effect is immediate on those applications which provide for solid sprite dragging. Click quit to end. That's all there is to it! Naturally it is only useful with RISC OS 3 or above.
