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.

Dear Gus,
I've sorted my formatting program out. Jon Ripley was able to modify it
for me. I can now format ADFS S M and L formats in the desktop of my A3010
and by using a nifty little program called DeepCopy2, I can backup as
well.As the programs are PD I have enclosed them on this disc for use by
others, who like to work across old and new ADFS platforms like myself.
Incidentally I gave Jon Ripley's old address last time by mistake.It
should be:
Jon Ripley (BUG)
15 Wexford Court
12-14 Biddenden Close
Eastbourne
East Sussex
BN23 7HX
I also seem to have given a defunct address for WSS it should be :
Warm Silence Software
PO Box 28
Woodstock
Oxfordshire
OX20 1XX
Tel :0585 487642
Sorry about that.

I seem to start off letters to EUG and then spend weeks finishing them
off.Anyway sometime last week Robert Sprowson sent me his finished AMX
to Spritefile Converter.This is simply called !AMXConvert and works on
Screenfiles and uniquely Pagefiles as well.The 2 methods mentioned in
EUG33 do not work on Pagefiles,so this is a very useful tool.It works
entirely in the Riscos Desktop so is a lot more straightforward to use.
I have only just sent him my appraisal of it and so do not know if he
intends it to be for general consumption.Assuming he's agreeable I will
submit it for all to see at a later date.If Robert has not already done
so by then.
