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.

dial [/pulse] [/retry=<n>] [/delay=<n>] [/nodial=<n>] [/nocar=<n>]
[/busy=<n>] <number> [<number> ... ]
dials the specified number or list of numbers. If a list is given, a number
will be tried multiple times (specified by 'retry') before moving on to the
next in the list. Returns 1/0 for success/failure.
/pulse uses pulse dialling instead of tone.
/delay=<n> and /retry=<n> override the default number of retries and delay.
/nodial=<n>, /nocar=<n> and /busy=<n> override default redial delays for
individual cases (ie, no dialtone, no carrier, busy). Useful, eg, to
specify a longer delay for no dialtone (someone using phone).
