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.

Command_Record : This command Records how many times the command 'Command_Record' has been issued each day. Why would anyone want know how how many times the 'Command_Record' command has been issued on a particular day? The main reason I know of, is that it enable's diary files to open from the boot sequence only the first time a computer is started up each day.
The problem is that if someone likes to keep a diary file (e.g. an Edit file containing reminders - see docter etc. Telephone numbers etc.) it becomes anoying if opened from the Boot sequence every time the computer starts-up / is reset. What is more useful is if it is opened from the Boot sequence once or twice a day only. That way the file is still opened enough for the user to be reminded it's contents, but it is not opened every time the computer Boots up, which quite frankly becomes very anoying as once you have been reminded of something once or twice in a day, you are not likely to forget it for the rest of the day, and opening the diary file up any more times that day is pointless.

Command record is very simple to use. There are no parameters, simply issue :

This sets a variable called 'Record' to '1 Time', '2 Times', '3 Times', or however many times the Command_Record command has been issued that day. Every time the 'Command_record' command is issued, the size of the variable 'Record' is increased by 1.

For example if 'Record' currently = '2 Times',
� D z z
D z z ���\! 1
\F 0 Trinity.Medium 12
\F 1 Corpus.Medium 12
\0\AD/\L12
and I issue the 'Command_record' command, 'Record' will now = '3 Times' .
