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.

Copy/Wipe Options Setter by Mike Ironmonger This program sets the default options used by the Copy, Wipe and Count commands. Copy, for instance, has twelve on/off options which determine the way in which it works. Typing '*Help Copy' gives full details of the options. The default options are held in the system variable Copy$Options. Any of these can be overridden by adding the option letter at the end of the Copy command. Preceding the option letter with ~ turns the option off, while the letter alone turns the option on. Count and Wipe work in an identical manner, but have three options each. This program allows the value of Copy$Options (and the corresponding variables for Count and Wipe) to be set using a Wimp interface, as well as enabling settings to be saved and loaded. When run, the program puts an icon on the icon bar. Clicking on the icon opens a window containing an on/off icon for each option. Clicking Menu over this window allows the default options to be restored or the current options saved. Double clicking on an options file, or dragging it to the icon bar icon, will reload those options. Clicking Menu over the icon bar icon allows the program to be terminated. Note that only the Copy options Force and Stamp affect the Desktop. The other options only affect the operation of the star commands.
