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.

Diagram Screen Dump
I have made some improvements to the screen dump from EUG16:
1) The output from this dump on my Panasonic KX-P1081 printer looked
slightly distorted, and lower case text was illegible. This was because
the line feeds had been halved, while the size of the print head remained
the same. This resulted in the lines of print overlapping, producing a
distorted effect. The remedy was to put the line feeds back to normal, and
intead change the number of pins of the head corresponding to each pixel,
from 2 to 1.
2) I have added a routine to allow only part of the screen to be dumped
(as required by Diagram). When the source program is run, you should enter
the text lines (which run from 0 to 31 down the screen) corresponding to
the area needed - note that the area includes both of the limits you set,
so if you enter 1 and 2 as the limits, 2 text lines will be printed. For
Diagram, you should enter lines 3 and 25 as the start and finish lines
respectively.
3) I have eliminated the need for a separate file to be saved for each
screen mode - the program now reads the screen mode directly each time it
is run, and returns an error if this is not a graphics mode. This is of no
benefit in Diagram, as this always runs in Mode 0, but means that the dump
- called by *UCODE - can be used universally, for printing out title
screens, etc.
The program Diagram2 from EUG16 will need two minor changes to use
the new dump:
(a) Change line 800 to: 800 *UCODE
(b) Delete line 804
