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.

Please make cheques payable to Derek Haslam.
Copyright subsists in all versions of Powerbase. We reserve the right
to withdraw support and authorisation to distribute Powerbase.
No warranty, express or implied, is made about the suitability of
Powerbase for any purpose. We can not be held responsible for any loss
or damage to your health, wealth or marriage due to the action or
inaction of Powerbase.
Powerbase is shareware. You are allowed to copy it freely as long as
you do not do so for any profit, and that the application is kept
intact and unchanged. If you find you use Powerbase on a regular
basis, you should register your copy with us. For �10.00 you will get
support and "free" upgrades.
We are always pleased to hear from users of Powerbase and are
grateful for the useful suggestions we have had for improvements,
additions etc. Upgrades are supplied as needed rather than on a
regular basis. If you encounter any problems or need an additional
facility, please send a disc with the program and database that you
are using and give as much information as possible about how and under
what circumstances the program misbehaves. Additional example
databases will be sent on request; just send a disc and tell us which
ones you already have. Powerbase is unlikely to run from an archive or
to use an archived database.

The database !Elements is used extensively as an example in the
tutorial. Other example databases are provided to show the flexiblity of
Powerbase.
Major updates will be sent to Arcade BBS, and to the Datafile PD Library,
APDL, ArchAngel, and RiscUser.
Important note to existing users of versions prior to 4.93 (NOT 4.993!!)
========================================================================
v.4.93 was the first to allow indices to be case sensitive. If you create
a database using that, or a later, version and try to run it on any
version of Powerbase prior to v.4.93 an error will occur. It is usually
either "String too long" or "Address exception". The problem is most
likely to afflict a user who is given a database by someone using a recent
version and who then tries to run it on an earlier one.
It is also possible for a database created with, and working
satisfactorily with, a pre-4.93 version to suddenly start giving errors
after being used on a later version. This will only happen if indices have
been created, or the primary key rebuilt, under the later version.
Deleting the contents of the Indices directory may then put matters right.
If it doesn't then rebuilding the primary key under the older version
will.
The problem was alleviated somewhat in v.4.98. Databases created with this
will work on earlier versions of Powerbase provided you do NOT make any
index case-sensitive.
The best solution, of course, is to send us a disc and ask for an upgrade.
There is NO problem running databases created with a version EARLIER than
4.93 under a version LATER than 4.93.
