!Convert/!Help
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.

File contents
Help about !Convert This small program, on upgrade disks only, is used to convert older (pre version 5.08) ALPS files to the newer format and directory structure. You must have already created a new-style application directory using the 'Set up' option on the new ALPS System disk. Then double-click !Convert and follow the on-screen instructions.
