Help/Build

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.

             ** BUILD **

Usage: *BUILD <File>

BUILD is a machine code utility used to
create simple text files. Files created
by BUILD have an  execute address of -1
(&FFFFFFFF), and so will be  recognised
as exec files when used in the context:

*FileName

Input to BUILD is line buffered, so you
may use DELETE and CTRL-U as normal.

Input is terminated by pressing ESCAPE.


BUILD uses memory &900-&AFF, and should
therefore be 'transparent' in use. (i.e
it won't corrupt language workspace).
