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.

ChangeFSI
~~~~~~~~~
Introduction and credits
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The difficult part of ChangeFSI was written by Roger Wilson of Acorn
Computers. For some technical information on the program, see the October
1989 issue of RISC User (Volume 2, issue 10). Originally, it was used from
the command line, but I added the desktop front end to make things look
better when I demonstrate Archimedes systems. In recent versions, Roger and
I have collaborated to produce an application which can be used from the
command line as well as from the desktop, with no loss of functionality.
The program is an image processing tool which uses advanced techniques to
produce the best representation of an image in a given mode. As�the
algorithms used are complex, this process cannot be carried out in
real-time, but the high quality of ChangeFSI output makes up for this. A
more technical explanation of this appears in RISC User - but for most of us
the fact that ChangeFSI works so well is sufficient!
Please report any bugs or "strange features" - I can't guarantee to fix them
(I haven't given up my day job yet!), but I'll do my best. If you do have my
phone number, please don't call during the day - I'm a sixth form student so
the best time to ring me is after 4:30 pm.
My thanks are due to Roger Wilson for his help with this project. Thanks
also go to Dave Coathupe, for his valuable feedback on many aspects of the
program.

Installing and using ChangeFSI
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You should copy the file ChangeFSI into your library directory. This will
enable you to use the program from the command line as well as from the
desktop. At present, the features are changing quite frequently, so it is
best the type '*ChangeFSI -help' and '*ChangeFSI -formats' to check on the
latest details. Rather than provide a long description of using the desktop
version, I've opted to use interactive help, as this makes things easier for
most of us (particularly me!).
Current limitations and bugs (Version 1.16)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Erm... well, there are a few, but most of them are behind the scenes so you
needn't really worry.
RAM transfers to other applications may fail if they only provide a small
buffer for the transfer. This should be fixed on a later version, but it is
not really vital.
Redrawing very small sprites can cause problems but the technique used makes
large sprites a lot quicker - you can't have everything (yet!).
The routines which output to AIM are not yet finished. The program contains
some, but not all of the code required. So, the relevant icon is currently
greyed out. A full version should be available by the end of January 90,
contact me nearer the time for details. As AIM isn't totally RISC OS yet I'm
not in any real hurry... 00000000 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 | | * 00000020 43 68 61 6e 67 65 46 53 49 0a 20 20 20 20 20 20 |ChangeFSI. | 00000030 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 | | 00000040 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e | ~~~~~~| 00000050 7e 7e 7e 0a 0a 20 49 6e 74 72 6f 64 75 63 74 69 |~~~..
