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.

The Friends Seek Help</strong></font></p> <p><font size="4">After Curly and Boysie have walked along the beach for an hour or more, they decide that the sea is further away than it was before. As there is no sign of anyone stealing the water, they decide to have a rest.</font></p> <p><font size="4"><em>"Curly,"</em> says Boysie, <em>"You know that I like playing jokes on people."</em></font></p> <p><font size="4"><em>"Yes, I do,"</em> replies Curly, remembering some of the silly things that Boysie has done in the past.</font></p> <p><font size="4"><em>"Well, I was just wondering. Are you trying to get your own back?"</em></font></p> <p><font size="4"><em>"What do you mean?"</em> asks Curly.</font></p> <p><font size="4"><em>"What I mean is, are you playing a joke on me? The sea isn't really being stolen, is it?"</em></font></p> <p><font size="4"><em>"Boysie, it would serve you right if I was playing a joke on you, but I'm not. You can see for yourself. The tide should be in by now."</em></font></p> <p><font size="4"><em>"Perhaps we ought to ask Professor Potter,"</em> suggests Boysie. <em>"My feet are aching and getting sore."</em></font></p> <p><font size="4"><em>"What a good idea, Boysie,"</em> says Curly. <em>"Why didn't I think of that?"</em></font></p> <p><font size="4">They leave the beach and set off through a wood to the Professor's house.</font></p> <p align="center"><img src="../../Sea/images/pic4.jpg" alt="Grimblegrot opens the door" width="225" height="198"></p> <p><font size="4">When they arrive there, they ring the bell. The door is opened by Grimblegrot, the Professor's assistant. <em>"Hello you two,"</em> he says. <em>"The Professor has been expecting you."</em></font></p> <p><font size="4"><em>"Expecting us?"</em> says Curly. <em>"How did he know that we were coming to visit him?"</em></font></p> <p><font size="4"><em>"You know the Professor,"</em> answers Grimblegrot. <em>"He's always full of surprises."</em></font></p> <p><font size="4"><em>"So is the sea!"</em> replies Curly under her breath.</font></p> <p><font size="4">Curly and Boysie enter the house and climb up the stairs to where the Professor is waiting for them.</font></p> </body> </html>
