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.

File contents
This is a demonstration version of the program Keystroke specially prepared for ACORN USER. The Executor program supplied is the playback only version which is supplied with every Keystroke. Keystroke is an unique and highly sophisticated state-of-the-art 'Macro maker' program capable of making another program replay sequences of their functions by the use of key type shortcuts. This allows you to eliminate virtually any repetitive task you have to perform. Or simply add 'Hot Keys' to any Risc OS application function that the original programmer may have left out! For instance, Paint has No 'CTRL key' type shortcuts. You can now add them. Perhaps CTRL-T to pop up the Paint Tools, or maybe CTRL-S to automatically create a preset size sprite then pop up the tool & colour boxes where you want them. How about CTRL-A to select all objects in ANY Filer window and CTRL-Z to deselect them? Maybe CTRL-Select to automatically perform a COUNT operation on the Filer object you are pointing to? These and thousands of other possibilities are yours. You own imagination is the limit... Keystroke can do all of these by performing icon clicks, menu selections, window/pointer movements, *commands and text macros from a keystroke. Even more amazing is that Keystroke can perform these actions on any Risc OS desktop program. ********************************************************************** This is the very first time that one program can perform these actions on another program. No special version of a program is required to perform these operations, just being Risc OS is all that is required! ********************************************************************** Imagine being able to add keystrokes to Paint or any other programs which don't have ANY keystrokes defined. A single keystroke could be sent up to perform commands like: Running programs, opening pages, positioning and scrolling windows. Impression II frames can be grouped, ungrouped, text repel adjusted, etc. all with the press of a keystroke. These keystrokes can even be executed from a built-in timer, for things like an automatic save every XX minutes. The full version comes with many keystrokes defined already for you to use, edit, delete or add to as you see fit. Programs covered are Acorn DTP, Draw, DrawPlus, Filer, FormEd, Impression II, Ovation, Paint, Translator, Type Studio, Vector, Worracad, and others. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This short file can only show you a tiny fraction of the powerful abilities of Keystroke. Keystroke will work on any Archimedes type computer running Risc OS 2 or 3. The fully working version of Keystroke and a fully comprehensive manual is available for �29.95 inc. A Site Licence is also available for �90 inc. Available from: Quantum Software, 35 Pinewood Park, Deans, Livingston, EH54 8NN, Scotland.
