!DeskUtils/!Help

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.

Various desktop utilities
Nick Jarman

This archive contains three utilities to improve your desktop, along with an alternative set of tool sprites. The utilities are: !Resiser, which allows windows to be resized from any edge, !SaveDesk, which saves the state of the desktop automatically whenever the computer is shut down and !Scaler, which accelerates your mouse.

See the cover disc pages and the !Help files within the applications for more details.
