!merry/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.

!merry Sequenced Christmas Greeting messages created by Colin Sutton for demonstration to college students based on desk top publishing ideas transferred to a continuous screen display with dissolves from one image to the next. Originally produced on the Archimedes 440/1 running OS2 and later upgraded to OS3.1 - the sequence will also run on the Risc PC with StrongARM but will revert to Mode 15. Pressing Escape will return to desktop still in Mode 15. On the RiscPC a non "letterbox" monitor definition file should be installed to show the correct aspect ratio. The sequence was created using !Paint, various PD outline fonts and the !Slideshow application from 628 Software. This demo version for Archimedes World, Christmas 1998.
