Interdict/!!ReadMe

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
Last month's full version of Interdictor required
the Shared C Library module (CLib) to be loaded
before the game was double-clicked.

This is fine for machines with Risc OS 3 but is a
pain in the neck for Risc OS 2.

If you have Risc OS 2 and want to modify Interdictor
to work more correctly just drag the !Interdict icon
on this disk on to the !Interdict icon to be modified.
A new !Run file is then added which will load the
Clib if it's available.

Do not try to update the archived version, only
update one that's been copied from the archive.

Don't try to run !Interdict on this disk --
it won't work.
