!DarkHorse/WorkHorses/Example/!ReadMe
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
This directory contains files refered to, in the text 'FileFormat' found in directory 'Docs', which gives a thorough explanation of how the savers work and how to write your own. The files are : . BaseSave - this is a template source code onto which you can build your saver. . BASICflash - this is a BASIC program which is used as a starting point to understand the algorithm the 'flash' screensaver will use. This code is fully commented. . Flash - this is the assembly source code which is basically a direct translation of 'BASICflash' code. It is written using the 'BaseSave' template. . Quickflash - this is the BASICflash file with all comments removed, which shows how small and simple the program really is.
