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
QD.EXE by David Foster QD is yet another DIR type of program, but with a few slight differences. The program was created for my personal use as a result of my preference to be able to see a sorted listing of filenames together with the approximate file size, without all the clutter of directories and dates as well. Similarly, I wanted to be able to easily display a list of sub-directories without the clutter of filenames, hence the available option. By default, only the filenames and their size, in Kilobytes are displayed, together with a total of the number of files and their accumulated size. These are displayed in alphabetically sorted order, four columns across the screen, so that the maximum number may be displayed at a time. If there are too many to be displayed at one time, the display pauses until the Space Bar is pressed. Directory names are not included in the list An optional switch, '/D' is available and, when used, a sorted list of the only the sub-directories of the specified directory ( or Current if none specified) is displayed. SYNTAX QD (<filespec>) (/D) <filespec> is optional and if omitted, all files in the current directory will be listed. Wildcards, drive letters and directory paths may be included. Specifying a directory without a filename will result in a list of all files in the specified directory. /D is also optional. If used, only sub-directory names of the specified directory will be listed, instead of filenames. EXAMPLES QD List all files in current directory QD A: List all files on the root directory of drive A: QD \MYDIR List all files in '\MYDIR' directory QD \MYDIR\*.DOC List all '.DOC' files in '\MYDIR' QD /D List all sub-directories off the current directory QD \MYDIR /D List all sub-directories off '\MYDIR' directory
