UpdateABI
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.

UPDATING ABI & RUNNING !SysMerge This note describes the action to take if � you have installed or updated the ScanLight software and � when you run ScanLight, it tells you �the ABI module is out of date in !System�. Do not delete your existing version of !System. Do not copy the version from the ScanLight disc. Instead you must merge the two !System files. To do this: 1 On the ScanLight disc is a program called !SysMerge. Load this in the usual way by double-clicking on its icon. This opens a small window. 2 Drop your existing !System icon onto the window. (!System will be on your hard disc, if you have one, or your boot disc.) 3 Drop the !System icon from the ScanLight disc onto the window. This creates a new, combined version of !System and automatically updates the existing version. 4 When the window shows !System updated, click on its Close icon to exit from !SysMerge.
