!AWNov93/Goodies/RISC_OS/DeskApps/!DummyApp/!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.

Program : !DummyApp
Purpose : Illustrates how to write a non-wimp but desktop application
Usage : To run double-click on a file of type "dummy"
All that happens is the pathname of the file is printed out; see
the BASIC program !Run in the application's resource directory.
This is a way of inputting information into a program initiated
by a double click on a file of the associated type ("dummy" in this
case
