!Info
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
Clicker Clicker is a program which will find its way into many areas. Originally designed for special needs, this program allows you to create and operate grids - the contents of which can be operated with a mouse, or if you have Switch Clicker, a click of a switch. (For example, disabled people might have a switch on their wrist which will operate the grid.) A grid might contain and assortment of computer instructions, words, phrases or letters. When one is clicked with the mouse, the instruction is carried out or the word or phrase will be printed into the currect text document. A brilliant and logical extension of special character printing type programs such as Chars. Clicker is �35 for five machines and works only with the mouse. Switch Clicker is �75 but has the additional feature of being capable of being operated by a switch connected to, for example, the user port. The file in this directory will only run with Clicker (either version). Load it and open a text document. Try to get the numbers in order. I'm sure it will prove to be a very useful tool for Key Stage 1 and 2, and not just Special Needs. The fact that it can output sound samples means that there may also be some possibilities for Key Stage 3 - Modern Languages? Clicker by Crick Computing (0604) 713686
