F/FNcct1
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.

FURTHER NOTES ON 'CIRCUIT'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have been told that some members have enquired about how to make up the
DATA lines for the files for the CIRCUIT program and I am sorry this was
not explained more clearly.
The program draws the components using a series of PLOT commands using
VDU25. The VDU25 command is given by the program and then the three DATA
values are read from the DATA lines. The number of PLOT commands (Z%)
needs to be entered first so that each DATA line should be -
DATA Z%, P1, X1, Y1, P2, X2, Y2, etc
Where P1, P2 ... are the PLOT codes - 4=MOVE, 5=DRAW, etc
X1, X2,... Y1, Y2,... are the co-ordinates
The values of the co-ordinates relate to the start point which should be
regarded as MOVE 0,0.
As a simple example -
DATA 4,5,100,0,5,100,50,5,0,50,5,0,0
draws a small rectangle.
I hope this has explained the making up of these lines more clearly.
I am pleased that the program has been of interest and hope it will be
found very useful.

**************************************************************************
USING RICHARDS ADVICE I HAVE MADE A STAB AT DESIGNING SOME ICONS TO DRAW
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION DRAWINGS. I HAVE SO FAR ONLY MADE A FEW AND IT IS
A BIT LABOUROUS BUT ONCE YOU GET THE HANG OF IT IT BECOMES FAIRLY EASY.
MOVE TO MODE 0. USING THE GRID ON THE FIRST PAGE OF APPENDIX G IN THE ELK
USER GUIDE PLAN OUT THE SHAPE OF THE ICON YOU WANT. DO THIS LIGHTLY IN
PENCIL SO THAT YOU CAN RUB IT OUT AFTERWARDS. REMEMBER THAT THE ICON NEEDS
TO BE DRAWN SIDEWAYS TO THE RIGHT SO FOR EXAMPLE A SEMICIRCLE THE BASE
WILL BE FROM 0,0 TO SAY 0,40. THEN THE FIRST STEP WILL BE SAY 1,39 WHILE
THE SECOND STEP WILL BE 2,38 AND SO ON. THE FIRST NUMBER IS THE 'X'
CO-ORDANATE IE HORRIZONTAL WHILE THE SECOND IS THE 'Y' CO-ORDANATE IE
VERTICAL. THE PLOT NUMBER FOR MOVING WITHOUT DRAWING IS 4 WHILE TO DRAW IS
5. SO IN MODE 0 ENTER PLOT5,0,40 <RET> THEN PLOT5,1,39 <RET>.
I SEEM TO REMEMBER THAT EU PUBLISHED A BIT OF CODE TO PROVIDE A CIRCLE
PLOT. I WILL LOOK THIS UP AND SEE IT IT IS SUITABLE.
THE ICONS I HAVE MADE CAN BE FOUND IN THE FILE 'ELECT'
