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.

ANAGRAM 2
This utility is an update of a previously published program, which lists
the anagrams of a given word. The first version listed all the anagrams
with no "intelligence" and so could take a long time with longer words, and
many of the anagrams would be rubbish. This version has a new facility
whereby you can specify a number of exceptions which are not allowed in
the English language. This is done by creating an Ascii file called
ANAG.DAT containing each exception on a different line. You can enter
these exceptions in three ways:
1. The exception on its own. So, for example QN (or most of the Q?
letter pairs) would be ignored. EXAMPLE: QN
2. The exception followed by a *. Here the exception is only left out if
it's found at the start of a word. An example is CK which can end, but
not start a word. EXAMPLE: CK*
3. The exception followed by a #. These exceptions are only compared to the
end of a word. So, CR can start a word but not end it. EXAMPLE: CR#
