FlashUp/Instruct

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.

0. Don't try to run the application on this
   disk ... it won't work.

1. De-archive the original FlashBack demo
   (!FlashDemo) from the June '94 Megadisk
   on to a floppy or hard disk.

2. Drag this new !Flashdemo application
   into the *same* directory as the full
   demo. Certain files will be overwritten.

3. Double-click the now modified version
   of Flashback, it will work on RISC OS 2.
