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.

<head> <title>Netscape Extensions</title> <body background="netscapebg" text="#0000ff" link="#ff6666"> <h1>Netscape Extensions</h1> Netscape Communications Corp. have defined their own extensions for HTML which they are trying to work into the future HTML standards. This page shows the colouring control extensions which they have introduced. This version also contains a preliminary implementation of the background sprite tiling! The image was taken from Netscape's own <a href="http://www.netscape.com/assist/net_sites/bg/backgrounds.html"> sample backgrounds</a> which are freely downloadable. <p> If you have the Netscape extensions switched off (on the Options menu) then you will not see any difference in the colour styles. The option was provided for people who wish to use <256 colour modes for whom some of the colours may be unreadable. <p> Another Netscape invention is font sizing: <font size=5>This is size 5 text, <font size=-3> and this is size 2.</font> <p> The latest changes made by Netscape include the ability to <font color=#000000> change colour</font> in the middle of a render. I have also added the ability to<br> <font size=7><sup>superscript</sup> and <sub>subscript</sub> too. You can try <sub>Single<sub>Double<sub>Treble</sub></sub></sub> subscript too.</font> <p> <ul> <li><sup>superscript</sup> at the start of a list item </ul> <p> This is a link back to the <a href="welcome">Welcome!</a> page. <hr> <address><b>Stewart Brodie</b></address>
