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
-----------------------------------------------------------
I live in the city of Auckland in New Zealand. For those
who haven't a clue what I am talking of, New Zealand is a
small country to the right of and not including Australia.
Both of these countries are in the southern Pacific Ocean.
...and now a plug for the NZ economy...
-=> BUY NEW ZEALAND MADE FOR IT *IS* BETTER <=-
-----------------------------------------------------------
If you are looking for some interesting and invigorating
new rock music, give "The Muttonbirds" a try. Um, sorry
that was inadvertantly another plug for NZ.
-----------------------------------------------------------
the 'puter stuff : I have a lowly A4000 with ARGH! 2 %@$#
megs of %$#@* RAM, which makes doing anything difficult.
I would very much like to upgrade to a RiSC PC ASAP. This
application will hopefully make that possible.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to Luke for testing with respect to the RiSC PC test
and for giving ideas which you will undoubtably see in the
upcomming versions.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Anyway I hope the software fills a hole and that it's
a pleasure to use. If you have anything sensible that you
think it should do then please tell me. (no, solving world
peace can't be squashed into 64k.) Remember that I am
also planning to write some utilities for it :-).

difficult so don't expect a reply!
Before December 1994 you should be able to contact me on
