Imp_Man/ReadMe

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.

File contents
Readme file for the Impression manuals directory on the Archimedes World
November 1995 cover disks.

Please note that the manuals are large and have been compressed using
SparkFS and not the ArcFS application that we would normally use. You will
not be able to decompress this with ArcFS so please use the copy of
SparkPlug that is included in this directory.

SparkPlug will not allow you to run any files from within the archive, so
you will need to copy them onto another floppy disk or, preferably, a hard
disk. 

If you have access to a CD drive, please do not waste your time and effort
with the floppy version, as the full manuals and example files are available
in an uncompressed form on the CD ROM from this cover.
