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.

Dear Gus,
I've enclosed an ADFS formatted disc containing a program named "TITLE"
on it. I've "had a go" at creating an opening screen for a possible
future edition of E.U.G.
I've incorporated user-defined characters on a text screen, the method I
used meant seaching through data files in the main loop this has obvious
flaws especially a speed limitation. To help overcome this I changed
the program originally in Mode 2 to Mode 5 and when required
"Restored" the Data pointer to the functioning lines.
I may have been better using a graphics screen and building up an array
with my message in it and some sort of detection procedure built in when
the arrow crosses it. Possibly a shorter program would have been made,
althoughmyprogram skills are very limited I'm quite pleased with the
results.
Also on the disc is a program I wrote partly for my son, to help him
with his times tables, and as a program exercise for myself, named
"Tables". The file for this letter,under "EUG" using Starword is also on
the disc.
Thanks
Wm. Entwistle
THANKS WILLIAM. THE TABLES PROG WILL PROVE USEFUL FOR BUILDING ONE OF
THOSE INDISPENSABLE SQUARES WHICH WE ALL USED A SCHOOL.
I LIKE THE TITLE SCREEN, VERY ORIGINAL. UNFORTUNATLY EVERYONE WILL NEED
TO WAIT UNTIL EUG21 TO SEE IT.
