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.

Program : !Direct
Author : Kevin J Swinton
Purpose : Electronic Telephone Directory
Introduction
------------
This application supplies the user with a multi-tasking RISC OS utility in
the form of an electronic telephone directory. It allocates memory as and
when necessary, providing a theoretically unbounded media for storage.
!Direct can be treated as a typical RISC OS application, and it is best
advised that the user spends a couple of minutes experimenting before using
it on a serious basis.
It may be noted that the main window is divided into two distinct sections.
The top half is for user-input, where names, addresses and telephone numbers
are entered and displayed. The bottom half is effectively the controller.
This provides only the simplest of functions, since in the author's view,
there are too many of these programs available that like to provide 101
useless things to do with it, which only serve to alienate the user.
The system is controlled by both the icons and menus. The iconbar menu shows
the standard Info/Quit structure, and the main menu (available by pressing
the MENU button over the main window) supplies menu options to Save and Clear
the current directory. Use these as normal.
Only the appropriate icons are available at any given time. This means that
the software will not allow the user to press the wrong button, since it is
rendered unuseable if inappropriate. Hopefully users will find this to their
advantage in that they can't 'break' the telephone directory!
The functions available are
---------------------------
Add : This adds a new entry to the current directory. Alternatively it is
used to create the first entry of a new directory. Each new entry is
automatically added to the end of the list. Records are not stored
in alphabetical order since this is unnecessary with an electronic
telephone directory.
Delete : This deletes the current entry being viewed. The database is
re-organised appropriately, reflected in the updated display, which
will usually display the entry after the one just deleted.
The 'tapedeck' functions available
----------------------------------
|< : Press this to display the first entry in the directory.
< : Press this to display the entry before the current one.
> : Press this to display the entry after the current one.
>| : Press this to display the last entry in the directory.
Searching for information
-------------------------
There is also a 'writeable' icon under the words 'Search String'. Pressing
this invites the user to enter a text-string. Once entered, pressing the
<RETURN> key invokes the search utility. This starts at the 1st entry in the
directory, and examines successive locations until it finds a match. This 1st
match is then displayed in the top half of the window.
If there are more matches, then the icon marked "Next" will be made
available. Pressing this icon will cycle through the list of matches, until
either all the matches are exhausted, or the end of the directory is reached.
Likewise, when stepping through the matches that were found, the user may
wish to step back through the list of matches. If this is possible, the
"Prev" (for 'previous') icon will be made available. These two icons may then
be used to step both ways through the list of matches.
If no matches were found, then the system will remain in the current state.
If only one match is found, then the system will display that find, and offer
neither "Next" nor "Prev" buttons.
Pressing one of the first six icons (Add/Delete/'tapedeck') will stop the
search.
The software incorporates interactive help via Acorn's !Help software.
USE IT. It also uses the MsgTrans text system, so adapting the software to a
different language simple involves changing the messages in the Messages
file. And it also incorporates keyboard shortcuts : F3 for Save, and F4 for
Search.
