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.

On January 31 1996, The Times's leader column even included an extensive tribute to Sibelius 7's programmers for devising a computer program 'to which the music world should be indebted' (see 'Times 2' file.) See the other files in this Reviews directory for the text of a few of the many reviews Sibelius has had. Please contact Sibelius Software (see Address file) if you would like to be sent photocopies of any of them. Here are some excerpts from major reviews, and comments from well-known users: "This extraordinary computer program has changed the music world forever... it may soon redefine the very nature of composition" - The Times (London) "In a totally different league from anything else" - Paul Patterson (Professor of Composition), Royal Academy of Music "Other systems take months to learn... Sibelius can be used at once by a novice" - Sunday Times (London) "Dramatically reduces the time it takes to compose a piece of music" - Financial Times (London) "Sibelius feels as if it has musical instincts... you don't have to bother about spacing, note-tails and which way they point, clefs and symbols and how to place them, and thousands of subtler details" - The Independent (London) "Platinum Award" (awarded as a result of a 92% review rating) - Future Music magazine "Far more powerful and sophisticated than than any other score-writer" - Personal Computer World "There are countless educational possibilities for this software" - Music Teacher magazine "Quite possibly the most impressive program of any kind I have ever seen" - Acorn User magazine "In a different league of user-friendliness" - The Independent "The biggest surprise with Sibelius is how simple it is to learn and use effectively... just about the most comprehensive music package imaginable" - Times Educational Supplement "Quite exceptional quality - as good as anything I have ever seen" - Piers Hembry (Production Director, Faber Music publishers) "Instantly captured the imagination of staff & pupils alike" - Paul McMaster (Head of Computing), Winchester College "Best Music Software 1994" "Most Innovative Software 1994" "Best Music Software 1995" - Acorn User Awards "I never thought I would abandon pen and ink, but Sibelius's quality, speed and ease of use have completely won me over. For me it is the ideal way to put music on paper: user-friendly to the non- technological musician, capable of producing beautifully clear, elegant scores and parts, forgiving if you make a mistake, flexible and versatile. The manual, thankfully, is even written in plain English." - John Rutter (composer and conductor��
