Documents/PrintOutpt

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.

Screen Output format
--------------------

Screen Output follows that of Filecore as closely as possible. *FileInfo
gives a totaly different output to that of Filecore.

*FileInfo
---------

*FileInfo displays the complete Header information held in memory about
files. The output of *FileInfo is as follows:

Name     LWR/wr ff format bb llllllll aaaaaaaa eeeeeeee cccccccc pppppppp rr%

where:

        Name is the object leafname

      LWR/wr are the object attributes

          ff is the numerical compression type

      format is the textual description of the compression type (always
             store for directories)

          bb is the number of bits for crunch or compress formats (--
             otherwise)

    llllllll is the full object length (for directories this is the total
             compressed size of all objects contained in it.)

    aaaaaaaa is the load address

    eeeeeeee is the execute address

    cccccccc is the compressed file size.It equals the full length for stored
             objects.

    pppppppp This depends on whether the object is a file or directory. For a
             file it is the position in the archive file at which the file
             data begins. For directories this is the memory address at which
             the next header in the parent directory exists (used internally
             by ArcFS, otherwise not very useful).

         rr% This is the compression ratio, i.e. the compressed file size
             expressed as a percentage of the original.
