Twilight/+TwPRD/ExtraDirs

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.

!TwEffects extra effects directory


This is an effect directory which, when it is double clicked, will add
itself intelligently to the TwEffects$Path, complaining if it has already
been added.

Effects should be placed in the directory !TwEffects.Effects.

If it is run in a boot sequence, it should be run before Twilight is.

You could use this to distribute effects. You may like to rename it, but it
would be nice to keep the icon and the prefix 'Tw' so the user can tell what
it is.

The Twilight control program can detect when this directory is added, and
will alter it's effect menu appropriatly.
