PROGS/WALKER1
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.

Dear Gus,
With the National lottery being launched last week and, not having an
unbiased method of selecting the six numbers, I decided to write a
simple Basic program to do the job for me. It is based on the RND(X)
keyword to select the numbers with a simple routine to check each one
isn't already in the list. The program could be improved by adding some
graphics - maybe another member would like to have a go?
Bye for now,
Derek Walker
