ThinTools/ReadMe
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.

Narrow Toolsprites - installation instructions ============================================== Thank you for downloading my narrow toolsprites - I hope you like them! To install them, perform the following steps : 1. Open the directory !Boot.Choices.Boot directory (shift+Click on !Boot) 2. Extract the 'newtools' sprite file from this archive into that directory 3. Load the 'Desktop' boot file from that directory into your favourite editor 4. Add the following lines : |Manualy override wimp font and size Set Wimp$Font Homerton.Medium SetEval Wimp$FontSize 10*16 SetEval Wimp$FontWidth 12*16 ToolSprites Boot:Choices.Boot.newtools 5. Substitue Homerton.Medium for your faviourite font.The lines above set the Font size to 10, and the width to 12 which works well for Homerton. You may need to adjust these values if you use a different font. 6. Save the file 7. Press F12 for a command prompt and enter *Configure WimpFont 0 8. Return to the desktop and Reboot See seperate changes file for history. Any comments and suggestions you have I'd be pleased to hear them.
