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.

Risc OS 3 Poster Set By Graham Dean The posters are intended as quick reference points for pupils from Key Stage 2 upwards, and for teachers. They are not intended to replace the Welcome Guide, nor the Applications Guide (indeed a couple of the sheets quote page numbers in the Applications Guide). For this reason the Printers sheet does not give instructions on how to set the configuration for your printer; it assumes this has been done. It does illustrate how to obtain the menus and dialogue boxes to control the quality of the printed output. There are more sheets devoted to Draw than the other applications, because it is the most versatile of the applications which come with Risc OS computers, and certainly the most used in the school at which I work. The posters are all provided in Draw files, which can be printed out as A4 sized posters. The files are initially scaled to 3:5 to fit onto one screen. These Draw files are in colour, but they are perfectly readable in monochrome. If you print them out, you can always colour them in.
