!DblClikMe

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.

Archimedes Series/BBC A3000 Subs Disc October'90
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This month we have used David Pillings !Spark
archiver in order to squeeze about twice as much
on to the disc.

To extract the files you should:

1. Create a RAM disc using the 'Task Display'.
2. Make sure the DeskTop has 'seen' your !System.
3. Double-click one of the archives (!SparkPlug will
   load automatically)
4. You can then drag one of the files out of the
   newly-created archive window into the RAM disc.
5. Wait.
6. You can now double-click this file or application
   to run it.

If you wish you can copy the de-archived files on to
a seperate disc for easier access.
