!TTFN/Docs/Acks

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.

-----------------

Thanks go to the following people:

Graham Allen     - For writing !NewsBase, without which this application is
                   somewhat less than useless.

Richard Sargeant - For helping me out with various aspects of WIMP programming,
                   giving me a head start on the text display routines, writing
                   the odd routine in machine code & a bit of detective work!

Kevin Yang
Michael Bergman  - For writing unix "kiss" upon which uuexplode is based.

Martin Glanvill  - For porting "kiss" to RiscOS as uuexplode (modified by myself
                   to do filename translation to RiscOS).  I did try to contact
                   you for permission to include it but I never got a reply!

A *big* thank you to the authors of DeskLib, without which this program
would probably never have got off the ground.

and not forgetting John Stonier, James Woodman, Ian Stocks and David Walker
who put up with some *very* buggy versions while testing the software...
