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.

�.........*.......*.......*.......*.....<.*.......*.......*.......*.......*.. GRABBER, Version 1.1 by J R Crellin DFS or ADFS, BASIC 1 or higher, ATS ROM essential Purpose To search for a list of up to 30 pages finding all subpages for subsequent browsing, printing and/or saving. Pages are searched for concurrently; GRABBER sets up as many page records as it can (the actual number will vary from with the model etc of computer). Using GRABBER Enter the television channel when prompted. GRABBER will then present a sequence of index pages (easily altered by changing data statements at the end of the program). Enter any page numbers you want "grabbed" and enter 0 or press return alone when you want to go onto the next index page. Enter #number to see a page straight away; you may then enter page numbers for saving and carry on as normal. Enter #RETURN for an update on the current index page. When all index pages have been shown GRABBER will start to look for the pages and will present the first one when ready. Use the arrow keys (or SPACEBAR and B) to move through the saved pages. Press R for reveal, S to save a screen image, TAB to print a screen image, RETURN to print text only. The program assumes the presence of MYROM but is easily changed to use other printer dump ROMs or routines. (See REMs near the end of the program.) The routine uses several of the ATS's page grabbers. It will therefore only operate with teletext adapters whose hardware allows more than one page grabber to be active at any one time. This includes the BBC Microcomputer System adapter (both the older Acorn adapter and the new GIS unit).
