Whilst still at school, from 1982 to after leaving school and through to 1992, I wrote open source software under the pseudonym “Application Soft” for the Acorn range of machines, BBC Model A, B, B+, and B with Second Processor, Econet and Acorn Electron. Software was supplied on tape, disc, and if the software was developed in machine code, typically as a EPROM to be installed into the computer with instantaneous availability. Software was at first written in BBC BASIC, then later in pure 6502 assembly language/machine code. We have registered the UK domain name ApplicationSoft.co.uk, perhaps for future use.
