StarInfo/Thoukydide/Note

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.

During testing this program corpsed a Risc PC 600 and an A5000, we
don't know why (it even happened on an otherwise empty machine).

However it worked on other Risc PCs, A7000's and so on. There was just
something about these two machines.

If it doesn't work, we're sorry but we don't know why.
