Bright/!Cassette/!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.

!Cassette - � Mark Bright
----------------------------------------------
If in any doubt about what to do or how, use the
Interactive Help facility (!Help), however here
are some of the keys that !Cassette uses:
Function Keys:
<Shift><f9> - New Inlay \
<f10> - Swap Case > Same as Basic
<f11> - Delete to end of line / Editor
Other Keys :
<Home> Return to Track 1
<Tab> Toggle between Side A and Side B
<Print> Print inlay
If the main window is opened with <Adjust> then all
the Icons will be filled with suitable text to act
as a quick reference guide of what goes where.
Note that this ONLY happens when the program is
first run.
History :
Version 0.91 March 1990
First Public Release, (D. Pilling !WorldMap Disc)
Version 0.98 1st September 1990
Released to Archive at Acorn User Show (07-Sep-90)
Version 0.99 9th September 1990
User selectable outline fonts. Set required font
in !Run.(Many Thanks to J.Wallace for the code to
do that one!) Warning Given if Clipping takes place
When printing via RiscOS driver, though this does
need a bit more work yet!
Version 1.00 - Somehow I seem to have got a version 1.00
How that happened, I'm not sure.
Version 1.01 18th January 1992
Minor bug fix to RISCOS printout. One of the two
title lines was lower than the other by 5 OS units.
Version 1.02 22nd January 1992
Bug Fix: Tape number should only be 5 characters,
and any attempt to load a saved file with a 6
character tape number caused the program to crash.
Now allows 6 character tape numbers. However you
are recomended to stick to 5. Thanks to Stuart Ford
for spotting that one.
Version 1.03 27th May 1992
When opening a resource file, checks if file exists
and gives a more sensible error message than
"CHANNEL"if it does not.
Version 1.10 19tH June 1992
Printout slightly reworked to give a better output.
Only really noticable when used on a laser printer.
FORMAT option added to main menu. When selected
this will format all of the tracks to Capitalised
Words, the artist and album title to upper case.
The save option now chooses a more usefull default
filename: in the following format 'Cass_BT 00'
where BT 00 is the tape number as entered for the
inlay.
Version 1.11 8th July 1992
Now reads the pixel ration of the screen mode on
startup and attempts to load a suitable spritefile.
If such a file is not available then the default
spritefile is loaded.
Version 1.12 9th July 1992
Supports "Iconisation" to the pinboard in RiscOS 3
Version 1.13 10th July 1992
First go at fixing an irritating 'feature' of the
RiscOS printout : When text is too long to fit in
the inlay space, it is clipped to fit. The problem
was however, when using higher resolutions, due to
the way the printer driver requests the drawing
information, you could well end up being warned
about a 'Clipped' text 3 or even 4 times. I think
that the problem is now cured, unless you know
better!
Version 1.14 14th July 1992
Fixed bug in Iconisation routine. Should now
iconise with filename not simply "!Cassette".
Version 1.15 2nd August 1992
Finally fixed the bug in the iconisation routine.
So much easier when you actually have access to
RiscOS 3 !!!!
Version 1.16 5th August 1992
Implemented 'Drag-A-Sprite' on RiscOS 3 machines.
Version 1.17 11th August 1992
Interactive help on MENU'S now functional on RiscOS
3.x machines. Alternative info window removed. Now
checks for current version of OS on startup and
initialises to suit. To go with this change, the
routine which loads up the correct sprites depending
upon mode now only works with version 3.00 or
greater. The idea of this is greater consistency
between different sections of the code!
Version 1.18 14th August 1992
Now responds to Desktop save messages. If used on
a Portable (A4) will save current file to the
scrap directory in the event of a low power warning.
Version 1.19 16th August 1992
Limited multi-Tasking during printout implemented.
Version 1.20 20th August 1992
Auto-Kerning used if font manager can support it.
Version 1.21 23rd August 1992
BUG FIX: On a RiscOS 3.x machine, the printer
driver module is in ROM. The way !Cassette checks
to see if RiscOS printing is possible is to check
for the presence of the module. However, unless
the !Printers application has been run, the module
is not initialised and printing will fail. !Cassette
now checks for the module, (Failing if not loaded),
and then checks if a printer driver has been
selected (Failing if not).
Version 1.22 20th January 1993
BUG FIX:
Version 1.23 20th September 1993
BUG FIX: Auto Format routine missed the bottom section
of side one.
This program has been placed into the public domain
by Mark Bright. It may be freely copied and
distributed for non-profit making purposes, so long
as the code is not altered (apart from customising
!Run/!Boot files) and this text file remains
present and unaltered. Routines from this program
may be used if they are of any use to you,
but please credit me.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this program, and find it
useful, if you have any suggestions to improve the
functionallity or any bug reports I would be
grateful to hear from you.
