!AWNov91/Goodies/Archery/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.

 Known Problems

!Archery can be run from the November91 archive but once you have played the game it will try to save a file into the archive. It fails and displays an error report. The !ArcFS application is an archive reader only. It cannot write data into the archive. For this reason you must copy the !Archery application to another disk to de-archive it before using the program properly. Otherwise you will get the error report which reports that !ArcFS is read only.
