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.

History ------- Please note only the release versions are detailed below. However even though I say release I have only distributed these programs to my friends and not to any Public Domain library. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.00 ------------ I decided to group three of my other programs into one big program. This was the fist main objective. The programs concerned were !WelshChr2, !FrenchChr and !GermanChr. I wanted to get all three windows positioned correctly on screen and have each one working. All windows work, and are positioned nicely on the screen. Character sets covered at this time are Welsh, French, German --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version1.10 ----------- No major revamps or anything else. Mainly the playing around with the basic procedures used. Added icon bar menu choices for the character windows. Now the user can choose which character set they want without having them all on screen at one time. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version1.55 ----------- A quite major change here by my standards. Instead of all the windows appearing on the screen at the same time, the user now has a choice of choosing a default character set. When the program loads the default window that will appear is set to Welsh. The user can change this by choosing the Configure option from the icon bar menu. The radio icons are the new ones so the program does look pretty good along side other programs when running !NewLook. You can also save your chosen default character set. This is saved in the 'Configure' file in the !MultiDir application directory. This was the program will be able to remember which language you wish to have on the screen. I have also added an option to 'Show All'. This is because I cannot win.... Several people have told me that I should only have a chosen default character set, whilst several other poeple I know like to have all three character sets on the screen. Therefore the 'Show All' option provides the user with all three windows open on the screen at once. As yet I do not know if the program runs on a RiscPC. If anybody out there can let me know I will be very grateful. Thank you. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.60 ------------ Added another character set - Common. The Common character set is a window containing all the most frequently used characters that are not on the key board. I have not changed the code, exept for the additions regarding the new window. The screen now gets cluttered when the 'Show All' option in chosen from the menu, so I might have to get rid of that in the next release. Also added a logo in the Info window. It does look familiar to a logo used by a more major software company, but never mind. This is the version that Acorn User might put on their magazine. Although I shall probably send them the upgrades. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version1.75 ----------- I have made a change in this version. In version 1.60 there was a configure option. I did not like this because I thought it was a rather long winded way of getting character windows on the screen. Therefore I have gone back to the principle of version 1.10 where the characters sets are presented in a menu. The difference between this version and version 1.10 is that they are in a sub menu. The code has also been smartened up. I have mucked about with the program logo, it is now a different font to version 1.65, because the old version looked to familiar for my liking, and I wanted to stay out of trouble. A new character set has been added. Spanish. This character set has got some familiarities with the other sets but even though some characters are repeated, it is easier to put them under their respective languages. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Future ---------- There are several things I want to do with this program, including adding several other character sets. I also want to play around with the ones allready contained within the program. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
