StarInfo/Hammond/!ResSave/!Help

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.

This program is copyright.  It may not be copied, stored or transmitted,
electronicly, sexually or otherwise.  No part of this program may be used in
an after dinner speech or repeated verbally to others especially by a
talking parrot, macaw, or minor bird, used by the BBC for a forthcoming
documentary, chatted about or used as a hat without the express permission
of the copyright owner.  However the copyright owner is open to bribes.  In
such cases the copyright owner reserves the right to demand payment in
unmarked five pound notes deposited in a brown paper bag in a public place.

The program is supplied as it is. The user assumes all responsibility for
liability, damage or loss of earnings resulting from the use of this
program.  If the program crashes and screws up your hard disc, hard cheese. 
If the program causes you to lose time or work, what a shame.  If such loss
results in death by suicide, the destruction of the earth or any other
means, the copyright owner shall assume no guilt.

Now the help:

ResSave alows you to save things into the ResourceFS.  Simply load it up and
it will sit on the iconbar.

When you drag an object onto it (A file, Application or Directory) a new
window will appear.   In this window will be an icon, simply enter the name
you which to call it and then drag the icon into a ResourceFS window.

The box labled Module Name is what you want the resultant module to be
called (The one that will appear when you type *Modules).

After you have dragged the icon to a window it will change into a module. 
You have two choices now, either just press 'OK' or drag the module
somewhere.  Pressing 'OK' simply makes the object appear in ResourceFS
without creating a saved file of it.

If you saved the module then when evr you load that module again the saved
file will appear in ResourceFS.
