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.

The ADFS DateStamper ROM
========================
By Jason Robson
This program is in the form of a ROM image and provides a way of
date-stamping files as they are saved using the ADFS. The program is for
use on the Master 128 only as it uses the computers real time clock to
read the current time. To use it you must load it into one of the four
available sideways RAM banks with a command such as,
*SRLOAD image 8000 <bank> Q <RETURN>
- where <bank> is a number from 4 to 7
Once you have loaded the ROM image into sideways RAM you must press
<CTRL> + <BREAK> to initalise it. Once this is done you should now see
the message 'ADFS DateStamper ROM V1.0' appear underneath the familiar
'Acorn MOS' and this should be a good indication that everything is
working.
The ROM directs all SAVEs and *SAVEs to the ROM, which will then
automatically datestamp the program by storing the time that the file was
saved in an information file called ?. The file ? must not be deleted or
overwritten as you will loose all the dates that the ROM has saved.
Using the ROM will give you three extra * commands which are outlined
below,
*WHEN <filename> - This command will tell you when the specific
file was saved. You may get the message 'Not
datestamped' which tells you that the file was
either not saved with the ROM in the computer
or that the file was saved in another way than
with SAVE or *SAVE. You may also get the
message 'No information file in directory'
which means that the ? file is not present on
the disc.
*TIMECAT - This command goes through the entire directory
doing the equivalent of a *WHEN for each file
in it.
*UPDATED - This command displays the time that the disc
was last saved to.
The output from all these commands is best viewed in an 80 column mode.
NOTE
====
The program uses ECONET locations for its workspace so it will not work in
an ECONET environment.
