!Olly/!Help
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.

-------
This program is freeware, you may do as you wish with it, excepting :
Charge in any way for distribution.
Distribute any altered code without the original.
Distribute this on a magazine disc or PD CD without first asking.
Distribute the software without this help file.
Installation
------------
You may install this on a RPC by plonking it in the !Boot.Choices.Boot.Tasks
directory, or add it to a desktop boot file.
Use
---
Simple, double click on !Olly, which will install the screen saver to the
left hand side of the icon bar and claim 8k.
Clicking on its icon bar icon will open the choices window, and allow you to
change the delay time in seconds (decimals are accepted). Clicking OK will
store the value.
Alterations
-----------
The desktop front end is written in machine code, but the program 'Saver2'
actually draws the screen saver. This is pretty fully documented, and is
provided as a BASIC program for ease of alteration. You should only alter the
actual render code, all the rest of the code _is_ required.
