HADFS was written and is under continuing revision by:

and remains wholly copyrighted, (C)1990-2012. The program can be freely distibuted, as long as the code is not modified, and all copyright and authorship messages remain, and no charge is charged, other than legitimate disk purchase and copying costs. Ownership can be registered by writing to the above address, enclosing `5. This entitles you to a full printed reference manual and to immediate code updates. You are under no obligation to register, and you can probably manage with the manual contained these files.
Press means press, ie put your finger on the key, push down, and then release, as in: Press "X".
Type means a succession of presses, ie pressing each individual key, as in: Type "fred". It does not mean press Return at the end.
Enter means type, and then press the Return key, ie enter in something, as in: Enter the filename.
Return refers to the key labelled RETURN (or sometimes ENTER).
Shift refers to the key labelled SHIFT.
Ctrl refers to the key labelled CTRL, and is called the control key.
Delete refers to the key labelled DELETE.
Break refers to the Break key.
Shift-Break means press the Break key while holding down the Shift key. The Shift key on its own does not do anything, so don't be afraid to hold it down longer than necessary. In fact, this is to be recommended.
Ctrl-Break means press the Break key while holding down the Ctrl key, similar to above.

Ordinary text appears like this.
Text that appears on the screen, including error messages, *commands you type in and filenames appears in bold, like this:
*CAT
Program names, specifying one of the HADFS programs appears in italics, like this: HUtils.
Subsection headings are underlines like this: Subject
Unless otherwise stated, the manual will assume that the ROM image is in
the machine, either in sideways RAM, or in an EPROM. If a second processor
is attached when loading in the ROM image, then the message Press Break to is given, and the Break key should be pressed to reset the
second processor. An HADFS data disk does not have the ROM image on,
thereby releasing 16K of space for extra files. In all other respects,
HADFS data and system disks are identical. Once HADFS is in your machine,
it can be selected by
reset Tube*HADFS or by H-Break.

HADFS needs the OSWORD call &7F provided by Acorn DFSs to read and write to disks. Some testing on the Electron has not been as full as on other machines. You are welcome to copy HADFS and give it to your friends, etc., as long as none of the code or files are changed.
HADFS is available in the following formats: ISBN 1-899366-00-8 Manual, 400K 5¬" disk, 400K 3«" disk and EPROM `5.00
