Help/DownLoad
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.

File contents
** DOWNLOAD ** Sometimes, a BASIC program that would run using cassette tape will not work with ADFS, giving a "No room" error or similar. In this case, it is necessary to "download" the BASIC program. This process is described in the Plus3 User Guide. In addition to the procedure set out in the User Guide for recovering ADFS, it may be possible to reaccess ADFS at the end of your program. This may be necessary if you wish to chain in more BASIC programs from disc, for example. Sample programs for the download and recovery procedures are given in the file $.LIBRARY.BASIC.DownLoad. They may need to be tailored to your own case. It is possible that your BASIC programs may have special requirements that mean that the procedures may not work in all cases, but they should usually be OK. It should not be necessary to employ the download technique if you are using a second processor.
