!BEEBARC/!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.

From: To: .ssd file Directory .dsd file Directory ZIP file with .inf files Directory Directory with .inf files Directory Directory with DFS-style names Dir (or ZIP file) with .inf files Just drag the file or directory to BeebArc, set the options, then drag the save icon to the destination filer window (or type in the pathname). Converting .ssd and .dsd files ������������������������������ You'll see a save box containing these options: o Side :0 - just unpacks the first side of the 'disk' o Side :2 - just unpacks the second side of the 'disk' o Both - unpacks both sides � 65Host - unpacks in a more !65Host-friendly way; if 'Both' selected then unpacks to two subdirs The disk image must be of type 'Data'. Converting from .inf format ��������������������������� The option 'Filetype', when on, causes files identifiable by their load or exec addresses as BASIC or ROM to have RISC OS filetypes. Converting to .inf format ������������������������� The option 'Archive', when on, will *try* to output a ZIP archive instead of an ordinary directory. This requires SparkFS and its Zip module to be loaded - if both are not present, an ordinary directory is created. Command line usage ������������������ It is possible to use the three programs Add/inf DFS_Split Un/inf from the command line. See the files in !BeebArc.Docs for more details.
