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
First things first. I have been contacted by a couple of 
members asking if EUG was in financial trouble. The questions 
were posed because firstly I advertised a number of items for 
sale and said that all proceeds would go to EUG funds, secondly 
because I suggested that members might like to suscribe yearly 
and thirdly because the stamps on EUG17 were second class.
    The items I had for sale have been collected by me over a 
number of years mainly because I didn't want to throw out 
anything that might be useful. My wife has now said that I have 
to leave at least half of the space in our house free for 
moving around in and so these things must go. I did manage to 
sell some things but a lot remains. If you fancy something the 
prices can be seen as a guide. Make an offer. I would hate to 
put this stuff out as much of it is quite good. EUG may as well 
benefit from any income as anyone else. 
    The yearly subscriptions were a follow-up from an earlier 
suggestion from a member, EUG15 I think.
    The second class postage, I was going to do this anyway and 
sopke to my wife about it but laterthought the Christmas 
edition was an inappropriate time. My wife as she has pointed 
out cannot read my mind and so posted them second class.
40 COLUMN MODE
    Are you using the 40 column mode? This was developed by 
our own Richard Dimond. It is not perfect yet but we thought 
we would get it out now as some members seem to be having 
problems with TVs and certain types of monitors. To get out 
of 40 column press ESCAPE and the RUN. I put a bit into line 
35 of the menu to reset to 80 column. This will hopefully be 
automatic by next time. There is no need to make any 
alterations to any files you send in. Just send things in as 
normal word processor files or programs.
    Takling of monitors I 'tidied' the EUG desk recently and 
positioned my Elk power supply snugly behind my monitor. When I 
switched on the Elk the screen was slightly wavey, it was 
difficult to see but enough to make me feel uncomfortable. The 
problem of course was the power supply behind the monitor. That 
is why it has a long lead, and I thought it was to make life 
more difficult.
TAPE TO DISK
    Thanks to a request in EUG17 there are some routines to 
assist with this problem. Only one unfortunatly has a writeup 
with it but experiment with each to see which one works best 
for you. It just goes to show what a request for help in EUG 
can achieve.
OPENING SCREENS
    Like the opening screen? After Richards efforts in EUG17 I 
had to have a go. I am quite pleased with the result. The 
lettering routine came from an earlier screen designed by 
Merolosis. The destructive dot was something which has been 
lying around on a disc of mine for a number of years saved 
with the file name 'DesDot'. I certainly didn't write it 
myself, I only adapted it to my own needs by trial and error.
EUG ON 40 TRACK DISCS.
    I have had a 40 track drive donated by a member Mr. D E 
Williams. This will be a great help to those members with 40 
track drives. Thanks again.
EUG ON TAPE.
    I said in EUG14 that I wanted to experiment with 
publishing EUG on tape. Well it hasn't gone too well.EUG on 
tape will still be available for those who specifically want 
it.
EUG ON PAPER.
    EUG and grown far from its beginnings. Most of the 
submissions are now in the form of programs. A paper EUG 
would be mostly endless listings and you know what they are 
like to type in. If someone you know doesn't have a disk 
drive suggest they try EUG on Tape. It will work if they are 
prepared to stick at it.
ECONOMICS OF RUNNING EUG
    I bought a large qunatity of discs a while ago for EUG. 
Over the months I have accumulated a number which are faulty 
mostly found when I format them. These will be returned in 
due course for replacement.
    As you know I post discs in brown envelopes. In the time I 
have been running EUG I have sent out over 1000 disks and 
have to date had about 15 returned because of damage in the 
post. Now I have had members appologising for having to 
return a faulty disc and suggestions that I could perhaps 
pack disks better with scrap cardboard.
    Let me say this. If a disk is faulty, or indeed any other 
problem with EUG and you don't tell me then I can't do 
anything about it. So you don't see the result of the efforts 
members make and I might repeat mistakes which led to your 
problems with other members. You are not bothering me by 
telling me about problems with EUG. I don't take these things 
personally and I get more satisfaction from running EUG if I 
know that everything is working well. So if there are 
problems, mistakes or anything else write or 'phone and say 
so. 'Phoning especially because I love talking.
    As far as the better packing is concerned the figures 
speak for themselves. Scrap cardboards in the quantities 
needed amount to a lot of scrap cardboard, increased postage 
costs which would lead to an increase in subs plus the 
increased amount of administration. It is cheeper to simply 
replace the occasional disc. This is the ecconomics of the 
90s. 
HARD WORKING GUS
    Finally I must appologise to to anyone all who tried to 
deal with EUG during the past two months for the long delays 
and waits they had to endure. I had a contract during this 
time which as well as taking up a lot of my time was very 
tiring, mainly because of the amount of politics in the 
workforce. The main difficulity was with people who sent 
cheques. I didn't bank these untill mid January and several 
members wrote asking if I had received them. Sorry about 
this. I have to do some bookwork with all payments before 
banking so that I can later cross check if necessary. I know 
from experience that I make too many mistakes when I'm tired 
so I left everything. At least two members 'phoned when I had 
fallen asleep on the setee.Sorry to you if I might have been 
a bit grumpy.
SAVE PROTECTION
    Does anyone have any ideas to prevent a file being saved 
to disc with the same name as one already in the current 
catalogue? Ideally such a routine would ask for confirmation 
(Y/N) before proceeding. 
    Anyway, keep those submissions comming in. Does anyone 
understand anything about these new 'phone codes?

PS. I have just been told by a 'friend' that the above sounds 
like a headmasters speech at a weekly school assembly. 
Itdoesn't does it?
