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
Contents of this disc
---------------------
The disc contains a 1st Word Plus printer driver for the Epson
LX-800 matrix printer, and a set of files to allow the standard
IBM font to be used with 1st Word Plus and a suitable printer.
Printer Driver for the Epson LX-800 matrix printer
--------------------------------------------------
Text version: 1wp.hex.LX800_ISO
Usable version: 1wp.cfg.LX800_ISO
Supplied files for IBM Font
---------------------------
IBM Font for the Arc Library.IBM_Font
Loader for 1st Mail with IBM font Library.Run1mlIBM
Loader for 1st Word Plus with IBM font Library.Run1wpIBM
Loader for 1st Mail with normal font Library.Run1mlISO
Loader for 1st Word Plus with normal font Library.Run1wpISO
The loaders display a window indicating which program and font
they are loading, and are not essential.
Text version of printer driver: 1wp.hex.LX800_IBM
Usable version of printer driver: 1wp.cfg.LX800_IBM
The Translation Table in the driver can be pasted into the driver
for another type of printer.
Using the IBM font with 1st Word Plus
-------------------------------------
The IBM font can be useful because it contains graphics and
mathematics symbols in place of the "foreign language" symbols
in the ISO fonts.
The lower half of the codeset is the same as the ISO font.
The new symbols in the top half of the codeset can be selected
from the 1st Word Plus font table by using the mouse.
A few of the IBM symbols are not very worthwhile and have been
replaced in the supplied software.
For example, a telephone symbol from the Epson Special Graphics
font has been included.
There are also two symbols which have special actions:
The "inverse right arrow" switches on slow speed, uni-directional
printing.
If your printer is capable of bi-directional printing, any boxes
drawn with the graphics characters will be ragged unless you
first include this in the document.
This code "prints" as a hard-space, so it won't show up when
printing.
The "inverse double arrow" also prints as a hard space but
switches the faster bi-directional printing on again.
You can get an idea of what is possible with the font by
following these steps:
- Load the Archive disc and "*print Library.IBM_Font"
- Load 1st Word Plus
- Click the "Printer Installed" icon and install LX800_IBM
from directory 1wp.cfg on the Archive disc (you won't be
doing any printing, but this will allow the font to be
displayed).
- Load the IBM_Test document from directory 1wp.doc on the
Archive disc.
Establishing the IBM Font
-------------------------
Obviously, your printer must be capable of using the IBM font!
You can use the font with 1st Word Plus by doing the following:
First, copy the IBM_Font file from the library on the Archive
disc into the library on your 1st Word Plus disc.
You should "*print IBM_Font" before loading 1st Word Plus.
You could permanently add this command to the "1stWord+" loader
program to save typing.
Alternatively, loaders for IBM and ISO versions of 1st Word Plus
and 1st Mail are included in the library on the Archive disc.
These loaders assume that your 1st Word Plus disc is called
"1stWord+", and you will have to edit them if it isn't.
Next, you will need to edit the existing version of your Printer
Driver to create one which will print the IBM font.
If you haven't worked with Printer Drivers before, don't be put
off because 1st Word Plus makes it very easy.
Load your current Driver into 1st Word Plus from the 1wp.hex
directory and then refer to it whilst reading the explanation on
printer configuration in the Guide.
In the Printer Characteristics section of the Driver, change the
Horizontal Initialisation entry (line 1F) to select IBM font.
You should be able to find the correct codes in your printer
manual, (they will probably be 1B, 74, 1).
Remove the existing Translation Table from the Driver and paste
in the table from 1wp.hex.LX800_IBM on the Archive disc.
Run 1st_install to place the new driver into your 1wp.cfg
directory.
(If you have an Epson LX-800 printer, you can use the driver on
the Archive disc in 1wp.cfg.LX800_IBM without going through any
of this).
To test everything, load 1st Word Plus and then select the new
printer driver by clicking the Printer Installed icon.
Load 1wp.doc.IBM_Test from the Archive disc, print it, and then
compare what you see on the screen with what was printed.
