HTML/Tech

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.

<h1>Protocols</h1>
<p>Termite has two distinct sets of protocols, one that is included with all versions of Termite, and one that is only included with the Internet version. Protocols are loaded into memory only when needed, so Termite itself takes up little memory.</p>
<h2>Standard protocols</h2>
<dl>
<dt>ANSI<dd>ANSI terminal emulation.
<dt>ASCII<dd>ASCII upload protocol.
<dt>Avatar<dd>Avatar terminal emulation (enhanced ANSI).
<dt>Cack<dd>Random quote generator. <fish>
<dt>Capture<dd>Record to disc text as it comes to you from a bulletin board.
<dt>Directory<dd>Provides Termite's central easy-to-use dialling directory.
<dt>HexDump<dd>HexDump terminal emulation (displays text in hex form).
<dt>IEMSI<dd>Auto-logon, local-configuration and chat support for bulletin boards.
<dt>KeyLock<dd>Lock your keyboard to stop unwanted people using your terminal windows.
<dt>LineEdit<dd>Provides a line editor for slow links, sends entire line at a time.
<dt>Macros<dd>Programs your <em>F</em>keys so that they send sequences of text.
<dt>Script<dd>Script interpreter based on the BASIC language.
<dt>ShowCtrl<dd>ShowCtrl terminal emulation (displays control chars).
<dt>SplitChat<dd>Communicate to people in a split window.
<dt>TTY<dd>TTY (dumb) terminal emulation.

</dl>
<h2>Internet protocols</h2>
<dl>
<dt>CharGenD<dd>Provides inbound connections to the <em>character generation</em> port.
<dt>Connect<dd>Executes the correct script to connect you to the Internet via your <a href="ISPs">Internet Provider</a>.
<dt>DaytimeD<dd>Provides inbound connections to the <em>daytime</em> port.
<dt>DiscardD<dd>Provides inbound connections to the <em>discard</em> port.
<dt>EchoD<dd>Provides inbound connections to the <em>echo</em> port.
<dt>Finger<dd>Allows you to find information about a remote machine or user.
<dt>FingerD<dd>Provides inbound connections to the <em>finger</em> port, allowing other people to find information about your machine and who you are.
<dt>FTP<dd>Allows you to transfer files from around the Internet using this <em>file transfer protocol</em>.
<dt>HttpD<dd>This is a web server providing inbound connections to the <em>HTTP</em> port, allowing other people to view your web pages whilst you are online.

<dt>Smtp<dd><em>Simple Mail Transfer Protocol</em> is how you send your email from you to your Internet Provider.
<dt>SmtpD<dd>Provides inbound connections to the <em>smtp</em> port, allowing your Internet provider to send your mail to you. (see POP3)
<dt>Telnet<dd>This gives you a terminal emulation (using one of Termite's emulations) so that you can connect to an Internet bulletin board or other textual service.
<dt>Time<dd>Shows you the current time on your Internet Provider in a graphical way.
<dt>TimeD<dd>Provides inbound connections to the <em>time</em> port, so that others can find out what your computer thinks the time is.
